To the fans,
Thank you to everyone for your support and for believing in me. I’ve gone through a lot, and you’ve never given hope up and always believed in me. I also want to say I’m sorry to all the fans who have been rooting for me and pulling for me. I want to tell you, I promise, I’ll be back next year and I’ll be stronger than ever.
Signed,
Christian Garcia

Best of luck to Christian in his rehab. I can’t imagine how hard it is to time and again have to start over from scratch, but he sounds like he’s ready for yet another challenge. Hope the Yankees continue to have faith in him and keep him around, because if his baseball ability is anything like his work ethic, he could still be a star.

Christian,
Thank you for thinking of the fans and taking the time to write this note.
Injuries are something unfortunate that you can’t control, but I know you will be ok because you’re a very talented pitcher and you are still young.
I wish you the best as you work to come back for next season. Looking forward to seeing you back on the mound!

Good Luck Christian!
Mike, how serious an injury is this? Is rate of return to full (or better) strength good? How long? Thanks

Christian, we’re still cheering for you. Get well soon!!

All the best Chris.
I will still be rooting for you Feb 2011. I believe that you will be a Major League Starting Pitcher and these episodes will go along way in making you a very good one.
Aug 2011 you will be toeing the pitching rubber for the Yankees because you were just that good in the minors.

Christian;
Good Luck in getting back ASAP!
There’s a lot of guys that come thru Trenton and there are a handful of die hard fans who get to know many of you. One thing I found is most of you have times where you are freindly and sociable. And, there are times when you are serious and concentrated on just playing the game. This can make you seem like you are ignoring everything and everyone else. Few of you have the personality where no matter what the situation, you make us feel like you are on of our sincerest friends. You’re definitely one of those guys!
The one thing I have said and heard from almost everyone over the last few days is that they ‘wish you you get back real soon because you are such a nice guy’.
