They can want in one hand

For those of you who prefer not to subsidize the evil Eastern Empire, I'll excerpt the first, sixth, and eleventh paragraph, followed by the 13th.
Rich Harden…Rich Harden…
Rich Harden…
Hello, Rich Harden. Beane is right—Harden is the most dominant pitcher in the American League right now. Nine starts; the last time he had more than that was 2005. Seven quality starts. 11.31 strikeouts per nine innings. 53.1 innings pitched, 40 hits allowed. Has started against Boston twice, the Angels, Detroit and Atlanta once. He has a career 35-18 record, but he’s had a career in which his starts have gone from 31 to 22 to nine to seven before 2008.
Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
The Athletics began Sunday’s game with the Giants three games behind the Angels in the AL West and three games behind the Rays for the wild card. So if someone is willing to play the Harden Card, the price - remember, he will makes $11.5 million in 2008 and 2009 combined - will be extremely high. Harden could get Oakland deep into the playoffs. He could also get someone else deep into October. Or a string could pop.
Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
Take a look at Harden's
Home/away splits, GB/FB numbers, and LD %; he’s going to disappoint someone if he’s traded, either by getting hurt or by giving up crucial homeruns.
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
Peter apparently he thinks he's gonna be awesome.
This is why I listen less and less to what Gammons has to say.
Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
Gammons has really been off his game this season.
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
Wait, this just in!!!
ESPN has reported that Peter Gammons, writing under the pseudonym MDBNIU, has been having correspondence with Jim Hendry, GM of the Chicago Cubs. A high placed souse says that Rich Harden will come to the Cubs. In a three way trade with the Braves, the Cubs will get LHP Mike Hampton from the Braves, Rich Harden from the A’s. The Braves will get Carlos Marmol, Carlos Zambrano and a Carlos to be named later. The A’s will get Derrek Lee, Geovany Soto and Aramis Ramieriz.
by crazymountain on Jun 16, 2008 3:28 PM CDT up reply actions
And not only that in order to trade for the awesomeness that is Harden the Cubs will eat the salaries if Lee, Soto and Ramirez.
We are all waiting for that glorious October night when we finally win it all. Until then we will continue to cheer, never do the wave and hope.
