See, that's the thing that catches me about this deal though. At this time of the year, teams like the Yanks unload prospects for starters who have amazing stuff. Even though the guy's been an injury hazard for the past couple years (Harden), his movement is amazing and I'd have thought at this time of the year if they held onto him a bit longer one of the big guns would have ponied up a Joba or Hughes to get that potential Ace for the playoffs.
