Murton Traded, Cubs Get Harden

OK, so it looks like my random RF idea won’t work now. The Cubs have traded Matt Murton (ARGH!), Sean Gallagher, Eric Patterson and Josh Donaldson for Rich Harden and Chad Gaudin, of the A’s. Talk about countering the CC signing, huh? The Cubs just picked up an amazing arm and if Harden can stay healthy, then he and Zambrano, along with Ryan Dempster, will be a tough 1-2-3 (let’s not overlook Ted Lilly). This of course will probably snuff out my idea to grab Matt Murton on the cheap, as he will likely become an everyday player (and an effective one at that).

Meanwhile, here we sit, waiting to watch Sidney Ponson pitch tomorrow…
