Vazquez and not close. Harden's injury problems are too risky to ignore.

Help?

Yeah, I'm biased because I'm a Cubs fan but I love the potential of having Harden. However, knowing that he may miss a start at anytime is a little worrisome. I've already got Lackey down for a while, so can I afford another injury risk guy who has tremendous upside?

Close, but I expect a big uptick in Vazquez's numbers switching to the easier league. Plus, his ERA should have been much lower if not for an awful Chicago defense. Pick Vazquez.

Vazquez has always been up and down. His last stint in the NL produced a 4.42 ERA with Arizona. So a move to the NL isn't going to magically produce better numbers for him.

I almost always go for the higher upside. And Harden would be it.
