Trading Foreigners.

Resident of Planet Moonbeam, Lars Anderson (I like Lars and hope that he and his hippy-dippy ways can find success out where people don't care about baseball), has been traded to Oakland for her majesty's loyal subject, Canadian Rich Harden.

It's not a bad trade. With the acquisition of Adrian Gonzalez, Lars didn't *spin around in a clockwise circle three times, jump into the air, and spit* have a place in Boston and maybe Harden can prove useful for a couple of starts. Perhaps he could hold down the fort successfully until Clay can prove to be healthy *spin around in a counter-clockwise circle three times, jump into the air, and spit* and effective.

The thing about Rich Harden is that he looks similar (it's the turned-up nose) to my cousin's Yankee-loving husband from Vermont and on that basis alone, never mind the walks or the fly balls, like the woman in the commercial, it makes me nervous.
