June 9 -- BIGGEST PHILLIES BUSTS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Take a good look at this picture. It may be the last time you see Freddy Garcia on the mound for a while.

Garcia, the Phillies' biggest offseason acquisition and their greatest disappointment, left last night's game after 1-2/3 innings, seemingly because he allowed six runs in the second inning. But Garcia didn't look right on the mound. His fastball didn't top 85 mph, low even for him. When Charlie Manuel pressed him (indications were they got into a heated conversation in the runway between the dugout and the clubhouse), Garcia admitted his right shoulder is sore and has been for quite a while. As a result, Garcia will see team doctor Michael Ciccotti on Monday in Philly, and the news may not be good. In fact, talking to Garcia after last night's 8-4 loss, it's clear he's bracing for the worst: a possible surgery.

While we wait for the diagnosis, let's review the trade that brought Garcia to Philly last December. The Phillies sent Gavin Floyd and Gio Gonzalez to the White Sox for Garcia, 1-5 with a 5.90 ERA in 11 starts. Floyd, 24, is 3-3 with a 3.86 ERA for triple-A Charlotte, while Gonzalez, 21, is 4-3 with a 3.05 ERA for double-A Birmingham. He also leads the Southern League with 83 strikeouts. Wouldn't mind having Gonzalez in the minors, would you?

Finally, here's my question for you, Phillies Nation: where does Garcia rank on the list of biggest Phillies busts? Worse than Andy Ashby? How about Lance Parrish? Vote early and often.
