Earlier this week, both Rich Harden and Aaron Heilman were claimed by other teams off waivers. Clearly, Harden is the better pitcher, and I think I can speak for most Cubs fans when I say I would love to have him back next year. However, trading Harden to a team desperate for pitching could reap a large reward for the Cubs. On the other hand, I think I can speak for most Cubs fans when I say just get Heilman the hell off the team. There is no way trading him will yield the Cubs anything valuable. With that said, let’s put them in the Fukudome.
