I am likewise tired of the Gaudin love I hear from my fellow A's fans.BR/BR/Chad Gaudin had one good half season as a starter. He has been pretty terrible at throwing strikes otherwise.BR/BR/I really wish both Gaudin and Harden well, but reality says that they probably won't ever really be what anyone ever thought they were cracked up to be. I feel like Dennis Green writing that out. I am not really amused but I definitely think it validates the trade.

If they do they'll start railing on and on about how terrible the Harden deal was, how Beane is clueless and how you're drinking too much Kool-Aid. For my money, the Harden trade worked out just fine for everyone involved. Harden's worth the risk for a contending team like the Cubs and the A's got what they wanted in terms of prospects and payroll flexibility.
