Okay, the first report I saw was Harden for Murton, Patterson. and Donaldson. Now I see Sean Gallagher is inccluded, but so is Chad Gaudin from the A's!

Jesus... I mean I know Harden is always hurt, but this seems ridiculous to me. An oft-injured semi-Ace and a very serviceable starter in return for a good-not-great pitching prospect, a short-end-of-the-platoon left fielder, a guy who might oneday explode into a worthwhile utility infielder (and is currently about 45th on the Cubs IF depth chart, and a failed first rounder hitting .217 in the MWL at age 23.

What the hell?
Terrible Deal if I ever saw one... my question is with the Rockies being only 6 games back, couldn't we have put together a comparable package to get him?
