Nice to see someone with the same insight on “Harang the Horse,” I call him.

The Angels are his best fit with their lineup support pitcher friendly confines. Check out the thread I’ve opened with “Aaron Harang” by the Angels fan forum message board at angelsbaseball.com.

I haven’t blogged it yet under halothunder.mlblogs.com, but all my arguments within the thread support toward composing one. Your blog adds also, thank you!

Of course, production is what wins ballgames, not surplus value. If a team needs to add a starter for the stretch run and can afford his salary (Yankees, Dodgers), Harang would be a reasonable add. Bargains are great, but on field production wins baseball games.

The Dodgers could be a good fit as a 4th or 5th starter.

I think you may be confusing him with Bronson Arroyo, unless both of them are equally crazy.

the crickets probably has a lot to do with his in-your-face policy regarding his use of supplements and andro
no one wants that media nightmare, especially on a contending team

The Reds have also put some unspectacular defenses behind him over the last few years. I don’t know what to make of him *now*, but for his career that probably part of why his ERA seems a little on the high side.

“That half a run difference is a pretty big Motzah ball hanging out there.”

What does that even mean? Even over looking the misspelling of Matzah, I just… no clue what that means.

And I’ve been hoping the Mets would try to get in on Harang to try and stabilize the rotation and put some quality innings at the top of it, while hoping that he might get back into his old groove.
