I’m hoping he does not become an A. But, I do hope he becomes an A AND we offer him arbitration AND someone signs him if that makes any sense.

I’m not sure we want him to come down as an A, Scarey – might scare of some of the suitors, or might cause the Cubs not to offer him arbitration in the first place.

Also, I would be comfortable with Fukudome hitting 165 homers.

So Boston wants 30 starts eh? Harden has made 30 or more starts exactly once in his career. The last two years he has made 25 and 26 starts respectively and those years are known to be relatively healthy for Harden’s standards.

Not trying to trash the guy, I appreciate what he’s done in Chicago. I just thought it was a weird comment for RealGM to make. It would be similar to saying the Cubs would comfortable with Fukudome hitting 20 HRs. It would be great, but can you really depend on that?

Anyway, here’s to hoping Harden tips over into the type A category somehow, the Cubs offer arbitration, and Boston does sign him. A first and a sandwich pick would be great.
