He's pitched over 150 innings just once in his career as he's always on the DL. And last year he averaged just 5.4 IP per start. So who's going to finish out those games that Harden starts? I would stay away from Harden. IMO, they need a starter, a reliever and a power bat. I think there's money in the budget to get at least one of each.

I'm also not a fan or platooning firstbaseman. I think infielders need a consistent target. I think you are right about murphy’s stats. I’m also not a fan or platooning firstbaseman.

The Roche's numbers would go down at ChitiField, too. Let's not bring in mediocrity for change's sake. Murphy’s stats, if he played every day, would be the same as LaRoche’s.

We need starters to get us into the 7th, minimizing the role of middle relief. Too many games, too many innings pitched. If I could sign two players, they would be Lackey and Harden. three guys (including Santana) to go into the 7th every start makes your bullpen a lot better If our injured players return as expected, we'd have enough offense if we had these two in the rotation. And pitching wins in a short series I have to disagree. We need starters to get us into the 7th, minimizing the role of middle relief. Too many games, too many innings pitched.
