Cubs Acquire Pichers Rich Harden and Chad Gaudin


The Cubs have acquired starting pitcher Rich Harden and reliever Chad Gaudin from the Oakland Athletics for starting pitcher Sean Gallagher, outfielder Matt Murton, infielder/outfielder Eric Patterson, and minor league catcher Josh Donaldson. This season, Rich Harden has a 5-1 record with a 2.34 ERA. People say when healthy and on, Rich Harden has just as good of stuff as any pithers in the league. Chad Gaudin is 5-3 with a 3.59 ERA. I'm very happy with the big trade general manager Jim Hendry has made, and will give us a bigger push towards the postseason. You can't go wrong with a starting rotation consisting of NL-ALL Stars Carlos Zambrano and Ryan Dempster, allong with Rich Harden and Ted Lilly who are also very good.
