That's actually a good deal for them IMO, he's a horse and only 28 years old. Krivsky accidentally gets one right.

what has the world come to when Aaron Harang getting 9.125 million per season is a deal? we can soooo kiss Mark Buehrle goodbye.

Aaron Harang has been one of the best pitchers in the NL the past 2 seasons, has a great power arm, top of the rotation stuff and is 28 years old. This is a GREAT deal for the Reds.

 

He's certainly better than Garland and will be making about the same amount as Jon over the course of his deal.

Yes, how dare he have back to back years with an ERA below 4 and 200+ innings. This is a pretty good deal for the Reds, especially considering Harangs age.

All while pitching at the Great American Bandbox. His 128 ERA+ last year was the 9th best in baseball. He also lead the NL with 216 Ks which was good for 2nd best in baseball behind Johan.

Work took me to Cincy a few times last year and I was able to catch a few games there. It really is a band box where the ball FLIES out. After seeing games there, IMO, Harang can do some chunkin' to put those numbers up.

Take a look at what other careers can earn you over $9 mil per.

I would take Harang over Lily anyday and twice on Sunday

And if I remember correctly, he hurled a pretty nice game against us when we were absolutely crushing the ball.

Harang> Lilly and Meche. Good deal for Cincy.

I've never seen anything like that place. I went to the crazy ass Saturday Sox/Reds game last year there that we won 7-5 I believe, and the 2 home runs hit in that game (Uribe's to tie it in the 7th or 8th, and one by Felipe Lopez of the Reds) were both pop ups that carried half a dozen rows into the seats in left and right, respectively. For Harang to do what he's done there the last 2 years (as well as what Arroyo did last year) is pretty remarkable. This is a REALLY good deal, as mentioned he is better than Garland and only 28, so to lock him up for 4 years at 9 millon per is probably the best deal i've seen all offseason, and by the Reds of all people.

I hear that his agent harangued so much that the Reds had to make the offer.

Don't quit your day job!

I'm surprised that nobody has called out Billy Beane as of yet.

 

July 30, 2003: Traded by the Oakland Athletics with Jeff Bruksch (minors) and Joe Valentine to the Cincinnati Reds for Jose Guillen.

 

This dude led the NL in wins, innings pitched, strikeouts, and complete games. He was in the Top 20 WHIP rankings damn near all season long.

 

He sucked pretty hard until 2005. I always thought that he was kind of a scrub, but it turns out that he's just a late bloomer.

I was going to say something about whether the A's miss him now, and then I realized they really don't miss him at all, what with all their pitching depth.

 

Billy would have like to have traded him this offseason though, no doubt about that. He might have gotten Milledge and Humber for him, assuming his numbers would have transferred well to the AL.

The Reds also have given Bronson Arroyo a 2 year, $25 million extension on top of his current deal, which runs through 08 and has about $8 million left on it.

Chances are Arroyo is gonna collapse before he even reaches the extension years.

That is correct. Krivsky makes up for a brilliant move by matching it with an awful one after Arroyo's flukey season last year. The league figured out his curveball in the 2nd half, and it won't be so easy for him in '07.

Exactly.

 

By the end of this season, the N.L should have figured out his breaking stuff, and he certainly wouldn't put up the same numbers he did in 2006 for the next 3 to 4 seasons.
