Fantasy Analysis
Garko isn't having a problem with Oakland pitching this season; it's everyone else that he can't seem to solve. Three of his four homers have come against Oakland and he is hitting just .234 overall. Too bad the A's aren't in the Central Division. Garko does have pop in his bat, but his lack of plate productivity in 2008 has made him more of an AL-only Fantasy option and corner infield player in mixed leagues. (Updated 05/14/2008).
