Garcia may well be a Gold Glove shortstop going forward, but a recent MLB.com story has it that most organizations had him pegged as a second-baseman coming out of Cuba. And whether it's been bad infields or learning curve or comparisons to Barry Larkin, the reality is he commits too many errors at the position right now.
And back to the original point, despite whatever sour grapes may remain around here, most rankings have Jeter Downs ahead of Jose Garcia at this time. Of course, rankings are chockful of biases, guesses and are flat-out wrong more often than not, but outside of a Reds message board, thinking Downs is better than Garcia isn't a particularly controversial idea.
I realize we have few prospects to be excited about. I know it's no fun to think about good prospects we gave up in a trade, but everybody rushing to defend Garcia doesn't make him a better prospect. Hope he rips the cover off the ball this year (and turns into Omar Vizquel on defense).
