If Harden gets hurt before the deadline, then these whores will probably give up Duscherer to ya as well. They don't want to sign him for 2010(although these liars claim they are building for a great 2010,) and it's obvious they don't care about 2008/9.
I don't know what Murton will turn into but I can tell you that the deal is essentially Harden,Guadin for Gallagher. Patterson is garbage, no idea about the catcher but he wasn't going anywhere with Soto probably around for a long time.

Beane really solved ALOT of Hendry's problems becuase he was constantly asked why Murton/Patterson weren't producing, yadda yadda and now, Hendry gets to wash his hands of the BS. I don't even know if they were looking for another starter, the bullpen has been stressed alot lately because Pinella has had a short fuse so the addition of Guadin could be even more important then Harden. Last night was a perfect example. Score is 5 to 1 bottom 9, and he pulls Marmol and brings in Wood for one hitter.

Now, if it were life or death, sure, pull him, but middle season games are not and I see no reason to bring in Wood in that situation, regardless if his arm is fine or not. Maybe I am just the ultimate pessamist because I personally think Wood is one pitch away from throwing his arm completely off. Why not leave Marmol in and let him fight his way through it. He doesn't give up many HR's and his stuff is electric, and he might get some confidence from getting through a trying situation.
