2012 Player-By-Player Wrap Up: Christian Garcia
Christian Garcia is the type of player that you want to see succeed, because he has a story. He’s had Tommy John surgery twice, which is a nail in the coffin for most pitches, but he’s shown some success following his second surgery.
Garcia was called up to the big club in September with Zach Duke, and he is being groomed as a starter for the Nats now after a great September...
Could Christian Garcia Make The Postseason Roster?
A bit over half way through the season, I was covering a game at Nationals Park. Between innings, when the team does their Down on the Farm Report, they teased Christian Garcia’s minor league numbers.

Christian Garcia: The Nationals’ K-Rod?
Every year around this time fans, broadcasters, and baseball people get into the whole expanded rosters debate.

The Washington Nationals made their second set of September call ups on Labor Day, acquiring the contracts for starter Zach Duke and reliever Christian Garcia. Both pitchers are certainly not in the prospect stages of their careers, but they both had seasons worthy of a call up.

Prospect Watch: Christian Garcia, Shaeffer Hall, and Zoilo Almonte
I made a trip out to Trenton this past Saturday for a rare 5:05 start to watch the Thunder play host to the Washington Nationals Double-A affiliate, Harrisburg Senators.
