I get it. Harden is good when he's healthy... but he's RARELY healthy. Here are a few thoughts: 1. He is NOTHING compared to Carston Charles Sabathia, a man who has pitched over 180 innings during every season of his career. 2. Harden's career stats are eerily similar to... Kerry Wood's! That is NOT a good omen for Cubs fans. 3. What good is a $7MM option if you're paying someone who can't stay healthy! 4. There is no reason to believe--much like Mark Prior--that Harden CAN stay healthy. In fact, his MLB career supports exactly the OPPOSITE! Again, I hope that this works out for you Cubs fans--and I realize that you gave up pracis a "trade of the year" is remotely close to picking up C.C. or CC or whatever he goes by now. Btw, I think Carston is a pretty cool name... not sure why the terrible nickname. When you're 6'7" and damn near 300lbs. NO ONE is going to give you shit about your name. Just a thought.
