Posts: 256 November 7, 2009 10:30 PM	Tags : None The Cubs are reportedly parting ways with Rich Harden (and Reed Johnson). http://www.chicagotribune...0,765793.story?track=rss Not that this is really surprising (or news) for that matter, I have a feeling that with the increased financial flexibility resulting from the Hardy/Gomez deal, that rumor activity involving the Brewers will probably start to heat up. Thoughts? Personally, I would like to see the Brewers take a chance on a arm with upside like Harden.

After the Gomez deal, you'll have Carlos, Gerut, Schafer and Cain. No sense adding Johnson to that mix. Trade two of the four mention CF options for SP not another OF (I understand Reed is a FA). I'll play 3B, 1B or LF. Anywhere but Philadelphia - Dick Allen -Source Sporting News April 1970

Reed is solid at all 3 spots, has some pop, and gets on base nicely. Reed and Gabe Gross (or Gerut) would likely be close to prototypical "ideal" reserve OF's...and they would not embarrass you as a platoon option should injury occur. --Visit Al's Ramblings...analysis and statistical folly since 2002.

One (Harden) is going to cost a heck of a lot more guaranteed money than the other (Mulder). They really shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence, much less in a comparison about which of the two you'd prefer as though they are in the same situation this off-season.

The thing about Harden is that if he's not durable enough to be a starter, I've always thought that he would be a great closer. Maybe they could sign him with the idea of moving him to the bullpen if he's not able to log enough innings as a starter.

This way you control Harden's pitch count and well Suppan pitches less which is always a good thing but still gets consistent innings which does help with control and such.

The offseason would be so, so, much nicer with a high upside arm like Harden. Offer him a 1 Year 10 million dollar deal with 500,000 for 100 IP, 125 IP, 150 IP, etc. Logically Harden is probably out of the Brewers price range with the signings of Wolf and Hawkins. On the other hand Harden could be the "difference maker" that could justify going overbudget. "I would rather die standing than live on my knees!" Emiliano Zapata

I think there's sexiness in infield hits because they require technique. I'd rather impress the chicks with my technique than with my brute strength. Then, every now and then, just to show I can do that, too, I might flirt a little by hitting one out." - Ichiro
