	Sean Marshall more than likely. Well..actually..Gallagher's spot in the rotation is being taken by Harden. We would still have a 6 man rotation. I'm pretty sure Marshall will go back to AAA or be demoted to the bullpen..

	Wow what a trade. I was at work during all this. I'm just glad I was all about bringing him over. I know most of our fears are in his health. One thing to remember with Harden is he has already made the adjustments to have a long carrier. What was hurting him was the stress he was putting on his body from his splitter and slider. He has stopped using the split and rarely uses his slider. Check the info on him. He throws both a f-ball and a change up which he moves around alot. His change darts/fades and can tumble like a splitter can. Both pitches are thrown in a natural arm position which causes less stress on the arm. Take a book out on Greg Maddux here as how to be successful with a change/fastball combo with more gas going. Harden is for real. If Prior would have gone to the change and not kept on trying to throw his slider he would have come back. That is a pitch that can wreck a pitcher as pitchers like Wood/Prior and Harden generate alot of tourque in their arms to work the pitch. Adding in a split...ya DL.

	Very well said cubsfansence77. I've seen Harden pitch a few times and he really has great movement on his pitches. If he stays healthy, he can be an incredible addition to this rotation. I also like the addition of Gaudin, this guy is a lot more than a throw in on this deal. Both of these guys are still young and can be a major part of the pitching staff for years to come. One or two more moves and the Cubbies will be unstoppable.

	I like this move and now that I finished reading what cubsfansence77 has said, I'm loving this trade. I'm not too knowledable on Gaudin, but from what I hear, he's good. I'm not sure if the Cubs will do anything else from here on. If they do and it's as big as this, I will have BELIEVE tattooed on my forehead.

	I am loving this trade as well....hated to see Murton go, but he deserves a starting spot somewhere. Straight up, hard nosed player. I like Gaudin's spot start ability as well, but it will be interesting to see if he stays a Cub or is dangled as more bait. I would like to be able to see him throw more because I have seen Harden more than Gaudin. I am not sure the Cubs are done moving and shaking yet. What is on Jim Hendry's mind??? You now have a Fukudome, Harden, Woody, A-Ram, Pie (when he is up with the team) LOL! Just messing around.
