Cubs get Harden

From Rotoworld:
Cubs acquired RHPs Rich Harden and Chad Gaudin from the Oakland Athletics for RHP Sean Gallagher, OF Matt Murton, INF Eric Patterson and C Josh Donaldson.
If Harden can stay healthy, and that's a huge "if," the deal fills the Cubs' biggest need on the heels of Milwaukee signing C.C. Sabathia earlier this week. Harden is 5-1 with a 2.34 ERA in 13 starts this season, and has 92 strikeouts in 77 innings, but he did spend a month on the disabled list. Gaudin is 5-3 with a 3.59 ERA, and will join Chicago's bullpen.
Always good when pitchers like Sabathia and Harden move to the NL. If Harden can stay healthy, the Cubs will be (and already are) pretty scary.

Just went to ESPN.com
and the ever-prescient Buster Olney’s headline from this morning was “Don’t expect Cubs to answer CC trade.”
Manny ain't the only bad man.

Harden when healthy
Is scary good. Thank god he isn’t playing in the AL any more.
It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.
