Since he broke into the big leagues at age 21, Harden has compiled a 3.58 FIP, while punching out 9.35 batters per nine frames.

Our View: The Cubs have long been rumored to not be interested in bringing the injury prone Harden back, but would likely consider it were he to agree to a short-term, incentive laden deal.

Harden likely done in Chicago The Cubs are not likely to re-sign injury-prone hurler Rich Harden this offseason, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Our View: The 26 starts he made last season were the most since the 31 he made for Oakland in 2004. He could find himself in a Ben Sheets type situation this offseason where no team is willing to take any sort of a long-term risk in his fragile arm. He may have to settle for a very undesirable deal.

His ERA, WHIP (1.34) and batting average against (.234) were all his poorest marks since his rookie season, though his stuff remained top-notch, as evidenced by a nasty 10.91 K/9 ratio. His situation will be something to monitor throughout the offseason, as he is a free agent and the Cubs haven’t shown a lot of interest in retaining him. If he does leave Chicago, where he ends up will help determine what kind of value he has going forward. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Rich_Harden/608930 608930 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:56:18 EDT mlb.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Rich_Harden/608930
