Garza possesses ace-quality stuff, and if he learns to spot it well, he could be a fearsome fantasy force. There is still upside here, and Garza certainly has the potential to post breakout numbers in 2010. An improved Rays bullpen and better run support should get him back into double-digit win territory. 12-0-3.85-1.25-175 in 200 IP

Positives / Upside	Garza pitched in some tough luck last season, garnering only eight wins despite a decent 3.95 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in 203 innings of work. His strikeout rate increased significantly over 2008, and his .233 BAA should tell you all you need to know about this up-and-comer's wicked stuff. 14-0-3.60-1.22-185 in 210 IP
Negatives / Downside	Garza still has problems away from Tropicana Field, as his ERA ballooned to 4.85 on the road last season. His walk rate jumped dramatically last year, and until he gains better command he won't be thought of as a budding fantasy ace. 10-0-4.20-1.29-165 in 190 IP
Recommendation	Go the extra dollar
Draft Position	141
