Source (mlb.com) (P - chn) | 0 comments.

Logging more than 100 innings in one season was an accomplishment in itself for the injury-prone Harden, who combined for just 72 1/3 innings over the previous two seasons. Few pitchers can match Harden when he's on top of his game, but the risk of injury weakens his value to that of a No. 3 fantasy starter.
