As per Jon Paul Morosi of MLB Buzz.Rich Harden represents one of several high-risk, high-reward arms on the market, alongside Justin Duchscherer, Ben Sheets, and Brandon Webb. Each has shown flashes of ace-level potential, yet none have done a great deal over the past two years - in fact, the four have combined for only 384.1 IP over the last two seasons. I suppose it's worth noting that Rich Harden has been the most durable (and I use that term very loosely) of the bunch, tossing 233 IP over that time. Those innings haven't been very good, mind you, as Harden's posted a 5.33 FIP, 4.70 xFIP, and 1.91 K/BB, while allowing about flyballs on roughly 47% of balls in play.Morosi suggests that teams may be looking at Harden as a reliever, as his excellent stuff would profile quite well in shorter, maximum-effort stints.
