I don't think he was (my vote would be for Cliff Lee), but the reason is...the offense is provided from a second basemen plus solid defense there is more valuable than, for example, a very good power-hitting left fielder that sucks on defense and missed a month of the season. He was second in Value Wins among position players. He was third in WARP (Wins Above Replacement Player) in the AL, behind Cliff Lee and Mariano Rivera, tied with Roy Halladay. He was second in Value Over Replacement Player in the AL among position players, a tad behind Alex Rodriguez. He was tied for 6th in Win Shares among position players.Quote:

Yeah really, if he goes 25 starts he would bring so much value to the Cubs. 25 starts from Harden will likely be more valuable than most pitchers who pitch 30+.Quote:

injury plagued sure, but when he's out there he's one of the best and I'll take 100 innings of Rich Harden over 200 innings of any mediocre pitcher.
I'd take Harden over any Cardinals pitcher (who's their ace? Adam Wainwright? Chris Carpenter?)
Adam Wainwright is the Ace and he is AwesomeQuote:
