Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"(Onelki) Garcia pitched three seasons in Cuba's top professional league, Serie Nacional, before defecting, so another challenge has been learning the tendencies of American hitters. 'The hitters here seem like they have a plan and they're looking for a pitch. They have an idea what they're doing,' Garcia said via a translator. 'In Cuba, they're more like free swingers and they're going to just let the talent come out. They don't really have the plans that they do here.' By all accounts, Garcia's done well acclimating himself to his surroundings off the field despite the obstacles. His English is coming along, and his coaches rave about his work ethic and how well he absorbs instruction." - Sportswriter Jim Shonerd in Baseball America (05/02/2013, Dodgers' Onelki Garcia Finally Gets Chance To Shine, Page 24)
