ESPN.com: MLB – Report: Rockies strike deal with free agent Harnisch
In the magazine we say: “After elbow surgery to repair a slightly torn ligament late last season, the Reds doctors said his prognosis was excellent. If his recovery is routine, a sub-4.00 ERA should follow, making him a nice little bargain. If it’s not routine, he is one bad stretch away from retirement.”
Given the contingent nature of this supposed deal the Rockies must not be sure that the elbow is perfect. But even if the elbow is sound, all the Prozac in the world isn’t going to turn Harnisch into a plus pitcher at Coors.
Those with daily trannies will have a tougher decision.
