Harden Comes Off DL, Will Start Against Texas
11th May, 2008 - 11:38 am
The San Francisco Chronicle - Oakland pitcher Rich Harden has been removed from the disabled list and will start against the Rangers on Sunday, according to The San Francisco Chronicle.

Harden showed his command during two rehab starts recently and will be limited to 80 pitches against the Rangers.

"It's no secret if Rich is healthy and he's out there, he makes us on the day he pitches one of the best teams in the league," A's pitching Coach Curt Young said. "When Rich starts and goes deep in the games, eight out of 10 we're winning. He can dominate a game, and not too many pitchers have better stuff."

Harden's career record is 32-18, but he has made six trips to the disabled list.

"Rich is very good when he's out there. We just want him to be out there," second baseman Mark Ellis said. "We hope he can throw well the rest of the season. The guy's in great shape and has an incredible arm. We want him out there because when he's out there, we've got a good chance to win." [READ]
