Maikel Garcia has had his best career season with the Kansas City Royals. That should make it hard to criticize the way he's played in September. Unfortunately, he's played so poorly and the offense has been so inefficient and inconsistent, it's hard not to point the finger.
On the year, Garcia has slashed .285/.351/.449/.800 with 16 home runs. That his numbers are still that good despite an awful month says something. However, September has also been a story about what could have been for the Royals. They were in the playoff race when the month began, but they aren't really anymore.
