What It Means:

Garcia bounced around as a starter between three different clubs last year, finishing the season with a 4.41 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, and 129 strikeouts over 157 innings. He's expected to round out the Blue Jays rotation.

Garcia produced a 4.54 SIERA last season, suggesting we probably shouldn't expect any major improvements in his 2018 ERA, but he did maintain a strong 54.8% ground-ball rate.
