Odds and Ends: Harden, Bonds, Ramon Hernandez

Time to round up today’s linkage.

• Susan Slusser believes Rich Harden and Joe Blanton will both be traded this season.  She sees the Yankees and Mets as suitors for Harden, though he’s already having a start pushed back.
• Jim Caple recently made his case for the Mariners to sign Barry Bonds; his logic is sound.
• Our Brian Bannister Q&A got a mention in the KC Star.  Nice!
• RotoAuthority has the fantasy take on K-Rod’s ailing ankles.
• Pure speculation, but Ken Rosenthal thinks Ramon Hernandez would be a good fit for the Reds.  Not sure if the Reds were looking at Michael Barrett, but that option’s off the table now.
• Who said you can’t go home again?  Craig Wilson is back with the Bucs.
• We’ll be doing our third MLBTR chat here at 2pm CST; don’t miss it!
