March 15, 2010 Rich Harden was shelled for five earned runs on five hits over 3.2 innings in Monday's Cactus League game versus the Giants. He had three walks and four strikeouts. Our View:Harden failed to make a good impression with his new club, and was tagged for four runs over 2.2 innings in his previous outing against Oakland. Harden still has upside, but is an unstable fantasy option for 2010 - especially since he will be playing his home games at hitter-friendly Rangers Ballpark. |

March 9, 2010 Rich Harden was rocked by the A's on Tuesday, allowing four runs on two hits and three walks in 2.2 innings. Our View:Harden did fan four in the game, but allowed a three run homer to Kevin Kouzmanoff. His problem in the past was never about ability or effectiveness, merely staying healthy was always the issue, but last year he struggled to the tune of a 4.09 ERA despite pitching the most innings in one year since his first full season in 2004. Draft with caution. |

February 22, 2010 The Rangers could opt to give Rich Harden an extra day between starts from time to time or occasionally skip him altogether a time or two in an effort to keep him healthy this season, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Our View:This shouldn't be looked at as a negative point by fantasy owners, but instead as a positive one. In the end, it shouldn't cost Harden more than maybe two to four total starts, and if it can succeed in keeping the fragile Harden healthy all year long, it will certainly end up being looked at as a success. He remains one of the better fantasy pitchers in all of baseball when healthy. |
