Ranting Guy: The money Japanese teams would get back in any new system would have to compensate potential lost revenue from letting their stars go (nevermind that they would prefer to keep their stars in the first place)
At least, that was apparently the purpose of the posting system when it was implemented after Nomo’s retirement-from-Japanese-baseball-then-sign-with-Dodgers thing.

Until Harden proves he can pitch effectively and stay healthy for an entire year I wouldn’t trade anyone for him. He’s an injury waiting to happen. I definitely wouldn’t trade for him to make him an eigth inning guy. If healthy he has filthy stuff, number one starter type stuff. I would just be leery of trading anybody for him right now, let alone a combination of Kennedy, Horne, Marques.

Matsuzaka’s “gyroball” is a myth and a fable. A pent up version of an American screwball through the use of a ball that would hardly be used for infield practice in the states.
The Dice-K mania that gripped Boston a year ago is now down to whispers of fraud and disappointment.
Hot selling Dice-K shirts are now seen wiping wax off cars from a hard winter.

Thanks Brandon,
If they could get him for some of the other guys I’d do it. We have a glut of “promising talent” down on the farm – they all can’t pitch for the Yanks. Harden, if healthy could really help.

Ill take Harden for Marquez and make him the 8th inning guy. Put Joba back in the rotation. Or 7th inning guy till July. Then he takes over the 8th inning role.

mel,
Dirk is out for 2 weeks. I think if he doesnt comeback sooner. They miss the playoffs all together. How bad does that Kidd trade look for them right now. They havnt beaten a winning team with him. As i stated when the trade happened. Thank you Dallas for trading away Harris and Diop. Who were S.A. achillis heal.

Do you hear the footsteps? 1 game behind and closing.

Anyone, does this have any teeth?

If they could accomplish that, Kei Igawa would actually stand a legitimate chance at a winning record.

With sunglasses,not a chance.
Without. 50/50.
Blindfolded. Absolutely

Detroit = Just another example of why you can’t have too much pitching on hand. Not too long ago their raw pitching talent was scary. Now they’re in trouble.
