The reason I'm so high on him is that I see the Twins in need of a high strikeout pitcher and he's about the only one on the market. If Justin Verlander were available, I'd forgo Harden in a second to get him, but the need is real and the market is thin. I'd be interested to see how Andy handled him, but if he could get him back throwing splitters, he becomes a lot more valuable.

I'm not sure I'm convinced, but it's certainly not crazy. I'd love to see Harden after working with Rick Anderson too.
