Cub teammates' thoughts on trade - Daily Herald (not Bruce)

Picked out a few of the guys' thoughts on it.

 

"When he's on, he's one of the best right-handed pitchers in the game. Stuff-wise, his stuff is off the charts," said second baseman Mark DeRosa, who faced Harden while playing with the Texas Rangers. "When you go up there and you're getting 97 mile-an-hour fastballs, there's no decision-making process."

 

"He's one of the best out there," said fellow starter and fellow Canadian Ryan Dempster. "He's dominating most of the time he pitches. He throws close to 100 miles per hour, he has a good slider, throws strikes, knows how to pitch.

 

"We were already a good team. He's added some depth and made us better."

 

"I don't know if we really need it, but we really got it, and it's going to be a great situation for all of us - another veteran guy, another No. 1 starter," center fielder Jim Edmonds said.

 

"The umpires were talking about him (Tuesday), how well he was throwing it, how electric his stuff was," Edmonds said.

 

"He's no throw-in for this deal," DeRosa said. "He's a guy I've faced and had trouble with as well.

 

"This trade makes our team really good."

 

 

I liked Edmonds's comment on it a lot.
