Hello, He Must Be Going

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Freddy Garcia visited camp early this morning, but he didn't remain here long and it's not likely he'll be coming back.

Garcia was examined by the Red Sox medical staff this morning, a trip that was planned before the Sox came to terms with fellow free agent, Bartolo Colon.

Garcia missed half of last season, undergoing shoulder surgery last August. He probably won't be able to pitch until after the All-Star break and the Sox' invitation was a matter of them performing some due diligence in the event that Garcia could help out in the second half of the season.

He's been unable to land a deal elsewhere, having visited a number of camps -- including the Mets -- in the last week or so.
