Garcia hit the ball with a bit more authority in his second DSL season and drew some walks, but he also struck out a ton. He was in minor league training camp but returned to the DSL for 2007. He had a very strong season, hitting for power and average, and making some progress with his contact issues. Despite being a little old for the league, he struggled in the GCL in 2008, hitting for a little power but not doing much else other than stealing bases very efficiently. For some reason, the Pirates moved him up to State College after the GCL season. He may be at State College next year.
