Honestly though, the Brewers minor league system is incredibly deep at this point. They had 10 AA all stars this year. Laporta could only play left field or 1st base. Braun is locked up for 7 years in left, and Fielder is the first baseman for the next 3. They had to figure out a way to deal him and to acquire a #1 starter for him and a few other prospects is a great deal for the Brewers. I agree that the Cubs got a good deal in getting Harden, but he's an injury prone pitcher who has only pitched in 30 games over the past 3 seasons. I wouldn't be shocked to see the Brewers add another reliever for the run to the playoffs as well. Brewers fans just have to be happy that we have an owner that is willing to do everything he can to make a run for the playoffs.

Especially since the Cubs got Harden for so much less and he's not a FA at year end.
