There had to be a reason why Oakland was so willing to dump him on us, when his numbers were pretty solid for most of his career. Maybe this guy was quite the shithead and his problems are more mental than anything, like Farnsworth. So in the end, if we traded Gallagher for Harden and this tool, we may get nothing out of that trade unless Harden turns it around soon.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Are you actually implying that Harden has been a disappointment as a Cub? Granted he's had injury issues inthe past and some mediocre spring starts, but his numbers have been absurdly good in pretty much every regular season start as a Cub.

Nope, not quite what I was trying to say. All I'm saying is that Harden hasn't been very good since he was put on the DL last August. He's basically a 4-5 inning pitcher now who's lost about 5-10 mph on his pitches. That's what I meant when I said he needs to turn it around soon. He isn't the same guy that we saw early last summer, and I have my doubts that we'll see that guy again.
