Guillen likes Garcia to Tigers, but not to Sox

Freddy Garcia got picked up by the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday, even though his fastball was said to be topping out in the mid-80's.

I personally asked his former manager/uncle (by marriage) Ozzie Guillen, about Garcia's signing. Guillen said he's happy for his family member, and then said he thinks Garcia would've been a good pickup for the White Sox next year. "My daugther-in-law's got more money," Guillen said.

Fantasy Impact: I'd steer clear of Garcia. He's been hurting for a long time, and it took the Tigers a while to make a move on him. Like Guillen said, it looks like he's better suited to pitch at a high level next year.
