Harden to the Rangers
According to Craig Calcaterra of NBCSports.com, the Rangers have agreed to a one-year, $7.5 million contract with right-hander Rich Harden.
The deal also comes with an $11.5 million option for 2011. It's a bold move by the Rangers, who have had their fair share of money problems this year, but it makes more than enough sense. The club has quickly filled a hole left by Kevin Millwood's rumored departure to Baltimore and snagged one of the filthiest pitchers in the game. The 28-year-old Harden posted a 4.06 ERA, a 1.32 WHIP and an incredible 10.9 K/9 in 26 starts this past season.

I would take Harden. Especially if the reliever they got for Milwood can revert back to 2006 form.

Hardin, big questions

He stated last season , since he was Canadian, he pitches better in cool, night games, rather than hot day/night

How's he gonna do in Texas @ 7 PM when temp is 95 at gametime?

bitch better stay healthy.......if he does it will be great....big IF though

regardless I would rather have the younger guy with the nasty stuff over the inconsistent inning eater

Milwood gives ya innings but he also goes through stretches where he gets absolutley hammered

I like the gamble
