Rich Harden to Miss 2012 Season
That’s the report from Ray Ratto:
“Peter Gammons says Rich Harden saw Dr. James Andrews, Andrews saw a surgical procedure, and Harden will miss 2012; wish that was a surprise.”
Here is a list of things more brittle than Harden’s tendons and muscles:
- The soft spot on a baby’s head
- Faberge eggs
That’s it. That’s the extent of the list. There’s nothing else. And because life is cruel, Rich Harden was gifted with a talent that would simultaneously destroy him. He’s like those old Mission: Impossible briefings, set on self destruct.
Harden will be 31 when he returns to the fore, having averaged just 95 innings a season since 2005. Someone will surely take a flyer on him, assuming he even feels like hurling a baseball again, because the hope of talent will drive many a baseball man wild. Harden’s not the first player to see his career take this turn time and again and, until we get bionic arms, he won’t be the last.
