How 'Bout Harden


Impressive. I'm kinda stunned actually. I knew he could do what he's doing but I just didn't think it would come this quick. I managed to get my paws on him on one team but that is all the risk I was taking. I'm not all that mad though. I still want to see him do it for a full season before I deem him worthy of a spot on more of my teams. I'm glad to see him pitching well though. I like the kid and I think he can be dominant if he can stay healthy. For those of you who spent the last couple of weeks on Saturn, Harden is carving hitters up. In his first two game this season he has gone 11 IP, 1 W, 15 K, 7 BB, .82 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP. If he stays healthy I expect more of the same. In 2005, before he got hurt Harden had 128 IP, 10 W in 19 GS, 121 K, 43 BB, 2.53 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP. He is the kind of player that tears you up inside. He could be a fantasy ace if he could just stay healthy for one FULL season. Maybe this is the year. It will be interesting to watch him the rest of the season. If he can stay healthy the A's would be willing to deal him to a contender. Expect a lot of teams to be interested with possibly the Cubs heading up that list. I'm pulling for him even more now.
