Posted April 30, 2008 at 12:32 pm

Of course, it may never happen because Rich Harden needs to make two rehab starts without re-injuring himself for it to occur, but the Oakland A’s are potentially facing a tough predicament on May 11: namely, what to do with Greg Smith when Harden returns from the DL?
