Enough of Jason Marquis
I don't understand where Lou is going with Marquis. Everybody knows that Marquis will eventually show his flaws and become the pitcher that he was and is.
There are number of bad aspects about him:
1. He is extremely wild, will walk numerous people, and can never throw strikes when he needs to. (31 BB, 41 K)
2. He will give up 3 runs or more every outing. 9 out of his 15 starts, he has given up 3 runs or more.
3. He has mental breakdowns on the field occasional (ex. at San Diego, he walks the pitcher, balks him over, and allows him to score off of his error).
As far as I'm concerned, Rich Harden has to be the Cubs Number 1 Trade Target. No, it's not C.C. because there's no point in giving up prospects in order to have him for 2-3 months at most. Also, Rich Harden is arguably better than Sabathia.
Harden's ERA is 2.44, I know he has fewer starts but 5 runs is the most he has given up .
Sabathia ERA is 4.06, C.C. has given up 9 runs twice .
People will talk about Harden's injury status, and I know that this is a concern, but it's not like C.C. hasn't been injured either.
It would also take less prospects to get Harden. I'm not completely positive on this but I think Harden is signed through 2010 with an option in '10. Sabathia is a free agent after this year and I can guarentee that he will not re-sign with the Cubs.
The 1-2 combo of Zambrano and Harden is comparable to Webb and Haren I would say.
Getting Harden would help out Dempster and Lilly because it moves them down the rotation and allows them to face other teams 3's and 4's.
However, Jason Marquis's teams have always made the playoffs. Just a bit of info out there.

No thanks on Harden...
Harden has only been healthy for 1 year (2004) and prior to this year had thrown only 200 innings in 2005-2007. Sabathia is the definition of a workhorse as he hasn’t thrown less then 180 inning in his career. Plus Harden will probably cost more due to the fact that he is signed long term and Sabathia walks at the end of the year.

10 straight starts...
and LOOK at his numbers. He is precisely what this ballclub needs. A true ace caliber pitcher to tag up with Carlos Zambrano. The Cubs will never be poised like they are poised in 2008 to win big. Lots of veterans at the zenith of their careers, getting great performances from Soto and Theriot, Wood healthy, etc….

I think that the Prior
experience has made everybody more than cautious. It won’t matter how many starts he has successfully without injury, people will still not want Harden.

... It means nothing, except for the fact that he is due to get hurt.
If you can get a bargain on Harden, sure, go for it. But you don’t give up the farm for Prior-lite.

At this point
I will go with Bluemike on Harden rather than Marquis. I am just not okay with giving up as much as I would for CC. I am pretty sure we will have to though so someone else is the wiser choice. He does have nice numbers over the last 10 starts.
C is rock solid though IMO. Give it al up for CC and then hope for an extension.

Marquis No. 5; Harden On Contender
Marquis suffices for a #5 starter. He’s not good; he’s not terrible. That’s all you can expect from a #5 starter. I like Gallagher as a #4 guy more than Marquis. Skip Marquis in the rotation, if an off day in the schedule permits.
Oakland is only 5 games out of the division race and only 4.5 games out of the wild card race. How eager are the A’s to unload Harden when Oakland still has a chance to make the playoffs?

Yeah Marquis is a true #5 starter.
Problem was, he was our #3 starter when we signed him. It’s sad, because Gallagher at 22 is so much better than Marquis and should be our #4.

My biggest complaint on Marquis
He is afraid to pitch to contact, which causes him to avoid the strike zone like the plague which leads to his walks. He is afraid to trust the rest of the team to back him up defensively, all he needs to do is execute pitches.

good observation
When he challenges the batter and can pull himself together to focus on throwing strikes, occasionally, flashes of what he once was show through. The last couple of games he really looked like he was pitching his way out of a funk. It sounds from what I’m hearing that he’s slipped a notch. We’re stuck with him, I think .. unless there are teams out there who think they can work him through the block he’s trapped in.

Like Pat and Ron said today...
...the Cubs really need to add a frontline starting pitcher if this team is going to realize it’s best potential. Definition of a frontline starting pitcher is Rich Harden. Billy Beane is interested in moving him and the Cubs are trying to win a World Series for the first time in100 years. Make the move Jim Hendry, make the move. If you have to give up multiple top prospects then DO IT. The sooner the better.
GET Rich Harden !!! 10 starts, 4-0, 59 IP, 72 Ks, 2.44 ERA !!!
by MDBNIU on Jun 26, 2008 5:18 PM CDT 0 recs
But do you know what Beane is demanding
You do know Beane will DEMAND the same amount of prospects in return for Harden. Beane is a crafty GM who is not afraid to let players walk and would gladly take the composition picks once the players walk. You need to look from the view of the A’s, not from the view of a Cubs. Beane knows how desperate Hendry is for a SP, but he will not give away Harden for type B prospects.
Overall, it’s not even worth Hendry’s time to negotiate for Harden. Why? Because with the same amount of prospects you can TRY to acquire a healthier and more proven ace like Sabathia.

Enough of Rich Harden
Even if he were not a walking infirmary what in the world makes people think the
A’s will trade when they are in the HUNT and have an option for 09 ? Personally I think
we should tell Hendry to get Edison Volquez and if he can’t he is a worthless GM. I know
it has been pointed out countless times to Blue Mike and his ilk but the idea that the Cubs have the goods to get an “A” starter if one is EVEN AVAILABLE are laughable. Most team can do just about as well with their compensation draft picks then we might offer. I don’t think are trading chips are worthless but the ain’t gonna get you CC , Harden or probably not even Cook ( not sure on his contract status). Most realistic thing the Cubs can do is go fishing for better , more reliable 3-5 starters, Wolf definately, Padilla might become available and some others.
Stop making stuff up about how the Cubs can get guys who very likely WILL NOT BE
TRADED AT ALL.

The Cubs have a
unique combination of prospects that could offer for a 1a or 2 solid starter. If you don’t think the Indians are going to trade C.C., you are delusional. Shapiro will never let Sabathia just walk away. Harden will likely be available also, Beane has shown in the past, that he will do just about any trade, even if the fan-base thinks it daft. The cubs have money and prospects to burn, especially for this chance to get to the WS in 2008.

A combination of type B prospects overall
Gallagher may be the only type A (and proven) prospect within the Cubs system. Vitters will not be traded since he is injured, Colvin has been struggling, and Pie’s value has taken some damage. But who knows, the Indians might take quantity over quality of prospects, but I doubt it, Might as well try, but there are other teams that can beat the Cubs offer EASILY.

Harden won’t ( unless Billy knows he is going down again). Gallagher is probably are best chip but
no where near enough by himself. The ONLY way the Cubs get CC is if the Yankees, Red Sox,
Brewers, Rays, Mets, and about 6 other teams are not at all interested.

There's no way the Reds will trade Volquez.

I hadn't seen that ugly of a ballgame in a while...
...and I’ll be glad to miss one like it again.
Yes, Marquis is Marquis and think we all knew what we were getting when they signed him. He is a well paid #5 starter and unless someone out there really wants to get rid of talent to bolster our rotation I think he’ll stay our #5 starter (can you even imagine him in the bullpen?! – yikes).
I have no response to that.

Some of those Type B's
could be really attractive to the Indians. These other teams, (if you are talking about the Brewers), have no reason to even realistically try to get Sabathia. The Brewers are interested mainly to drive up the price for the Cubs & Angels. Most other teams won’t have the dollars to sign Sabathia. The Cubs have a unique combination of money & prospects.

The Phillies can beat the Cubs offer
And they can also afford him.
You need to know where the Indians are coming from. They want to WIN next year. They have so much talent on their team that they will look for next year immediate help. They have holes on their team that they will most likely look for type A prospects who could be ready next yr. Gallagher is a good starting point, but unless E-Patt can prove to be consistent, the Cubs will have tough competition. I wish Shapiro turns down quality for quantity (like how the Twins did for Santana), but they are in a different position than the Twins. Unlike them, they have a strong core that they want to take advantage of by next year.

Certainly not until AFTER a sale which is totally up in the air. You think Zell is going to let them offer
him a 120 million dollar contract ? IF you think the Cubs should trade everything but the kitchen sink
for CC ( which I still don’t believe is enough) to win it all now I understand but don’t delude yourself that
they could or would keep him.

We don't need to sign CC if we get two plum picks in a deep 2009 draft.
Honestly ask ourselves this – how likely is Lou to make crucial and/or ongoing use of the prospects we would trade? So, if most prospects aren’t worth much to us right now, then why not trade 3 prospects who are close to ready for CC and two prospects that will be ready when we’ll use prospects again later?

Sell by date
A lot of our tradeable pieces are ready now. The Indians are a team built to win now. We can trade them Pie, Marshall, Gallagher, Patterson, or various relief arms who can all play now now. Then there’s Veal, Hill, Ceda, etc. who can all play now as in 2009.
The Indians do not have Lou’s mindset. It took them two months to give up on Franklin Gutierrez and 10 weeks to give up on Asdrubal Cabrera this year. They’d give players we gave up on a longer leash.

I can seriously believe
that the other ML teams are likely to value their prospects more than we value ours.

If the Yankees offered Hughes, Tabata, and Jackson, we can’t compete, but the Yankees won’t offer that.
The Dodgers may be willing to go all in and the Brewers can offer some surprising packages, but the question is – will they? The one thing we know is that we will offer all those players you mentioned and more.

Don't get me wrong...
There are worse things we could do than sign a 27-year old dominant starter to a 5 or 6 year contract.
I certainly won’t call Hendry any names if we trade for him and then extend him; I’m just saying if I was the GM I would be too scared of the risk. You’d think if CC was going to lose the weight he would have done it this year, his walk year.
