• Cleveland.com mentions that scouts were in attendance at C.C. Sabathia’s latest start, but the article doesn’t mention whether the Cubs were one of the teams with scouts at the game. I’d imagine they were, though. - (Source)

   They may have also been watching Rich Harden who pitched in that series.

   I like the idea of looking at Harden alot better than I do looking at sabathia regardless or injury or not.
