Jaime Garcia is awesome. I always knew he was awesome, since way back when a somewhat-prominent local writer presented him with a "Best Athlete's Butt" award in the RFT, and a completely unrelated, also somewhat-prominent internet scribe coined the nickname Hotme Hotcia for him. The point is, I've been in on Jaime Garcia for a long, long time.
I have to admit, though, I didn't believe in him this year. Not that I didn't believe he could be good; I was capable of conceiving a world in which Jaime Garcia remained a very talented, remarkably skilled pitcher. But there was basically no chance, in my mind, he was going to anywhere near healthy enough this season to make any kind of meaningful contribution to the Cardinals of 2015.
