St. Louis Cardinals: Expectations and projections for Jaime Garcia

When healthy, the St. Loius Cardinals’ Jaime Garcia can be a dominant starting pitcher. We saw this last year, as Jaime went 10-6 with a 2.43 ERA and 3.00 FIP, making him good for a 2.8 fWAR. Unfortunately, Jaime Garcia spent a good part of last year recovering from two separate injuries and then had the stomach flu induced awful start against the Cubs in the NLDS.

Right now, Jaime is in a spot where he has to prove himself to this team yet again. There are two guys that will take his starts right away if he gets hurt or is ineffective.
