Looks like the Cubbies have decided to step up in a big way and sign Oakland A’s Ace Rich Harden. I think Harden is Cy Young Material and by moving to as well known franchise as the Chicago Cubs his hobby status could really be elevated. Time to start snatching up his RC’s while you folks. For my fellow Chrome Junkies I recommend looking to buy a bulk lot of Harden’s 2002 Bowman Chrome Rookie Card . He was already steamrolling hitters in the far superior AL at a clip of 5-1 with a 2.34 earned-run average over 13 starts. The move to the softer NL should help his numbers even more.
The low budget, but always savvy, Oakland A’s landed starting pitcher Sean Gallagher, outfielder Matt Murton, utilityman Eric Patterson and minor league catcher Josh Donaldson for the 26-year-old Harden, and Chad Gaudin, who is 5-3 with a 3.69 ERA in 26 appearances.
I think the Cubs robbed the A’s in this one….
