What to do with the imminent return of Rich Harden to the rotation? Justin Duchscherer, Chad Gaudin, Dana Eveland, and Greg Smith have all been pitching excellently as part of the majors’ best rotation.

The A’s are moving Gaudin to the ‘pen, which I think is definitely the right move.

We saw how this guy broke down last year after seeing his innings pile up. We also saw how good of a reliever he could be in 2006. They’re putting him back in a role in which he’s excelled, and this only makes one of the league’s best pitching staff that much better.

Nice to get the sweep today. I was lucky to catch Mark Ellis’ walkoff as he hit it about 10 minutes after I got home from work. Go A’s!!
