Perhaps I was a little bit hasty when I said there's no downside to Garza. I do recall that his personality was not universally beloved by the Twins. But unless he's a Randy Moss level A-hole, I still think his pitching ability makes it worthwhile to put up with his personality. Then again, maybe I'd feel differently if I actually had to work with the guy... it's hard to tell. Fishhead711: I think you make a good point.

He was uncoachable at the time the Twins had him. This is coming directly from someone who worked personally with him in the minor league system. Obviously he's a talent, but there is a reason he's bounced to his third team already while being so young. For me, he's too much of a Big Z. @NealcpLA – Alright, maybe douche is kind of harsh, though not out of the Garza realm. He was uncoachable at the time the Twins had him.
