    Haren a Cub?

    Is this a smart move? Cubs are acquiring RHP Dan Haren from Marlins for two minor leaguers.

    Absolutely. And the two minor leaguers in return were just filler. Nothing special.

    yes it is.

    He pitched a gem against the Nationals yesterday , a team the Cubs will need to beat en route to the World Series.

    ESPN says he's slated to start Sunday. How is that possible?

    seems highly unlikely that he will pitch on 3 days rest in a regular season game.

    must be a typo

    Does this effectively mean the Cubs won't be going after another starting pitcher (like David Price) in the off season? If that is the case, i'm not pleased with the move.

    It could mean just the opposite. Haren is a rental on an expiring contract.

    Cards have a lot of holes on that team right now if you ask me. Not much Offense and now Holliday not looking like he will be back to form as well.

    He is making his first start tomorrow against Locke.

    who you guys taking?

    David Ross will likely be catching for the 3rd night in a row.

    Cubs have hit Locke. He's been pretty bad lately.

    Haren pitching for his 8th team. He's been through this before. Should do well. Cubs +110 or pass.
