    not when Zito even says Harden is the better pitcher...each of the big 3 made that statement.

    Great, give him the best pitcher on DL award.

    Wait, Halladay will have that wrapped up. Too bad.

    either way Haren is not top 5 in the AL. Both he and Blanton were 2 of the best pitchers after the all-star break, but let's not forget Haren was 1 - 7 to start the season and his numbers were ugly. Let's see him do it for a whole year. Harden's numbers were better and he'll be healthy this year. He was healthy the year before; he just didn't start the year in Oakland.

    Don't even try to argue with an A's fan. They're quite stubborn in their views.

    Oh wait, you're also an A's fan.

    It beats seeing the same top five-six over and over. I'd assume Buerhle will have a better season than Garcia, but many to most will pick Buerhle. Or Even flash in a pan Garland. But, eh, Garcia had a solid year, why not? Harden is a trendy pick, and sure, his 2 whatever ERA speaks volumes, but I might as well pick a different Athletic that hasn't had health problems. And normally I would never list a yankee, but I'm not sold on Hernandez just yet.. so. In the event the old Randy Johnson returns...

    I won't be arguing after Harden logs 200 innings and Haren smashes Blanton
