Comments on: Would Somebody Please Score For Harang? http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/would-somebody-please-score-for-harang/ Daily baseball statistical analysis and commentary Sat, 05 Jul 2008 00:34:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Eric Seidman http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/would-somebody-please-score-for-harang/#comment-33828 Eric Seidman Fri, 09 May 2008 17:54:51 +0000 http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/would-somebody-please-score-for-harang/#comment-33828 The 2006 Cy Young Award comes to mind whenever I think of Harang. He tied for the lead league in wins, led the league in strikeouts, and had a very respectable 3.76 ERA given that he pitches in a hitter's haven.... and he didn't get a single vote for the award... how preposterous is that? http://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/awards_2006.shtml#NLcya Not one vote. Not even a third place vote on a ballot. The 2006 Cy Young Award comes to mind whenever I think of Harang.

He's a far cry from the underperformer that the Oakland As traded away in 2003. For today's Harang, I'd offer a premium offensive player; maybe a Jason Bay.

RS/9 is always kind of fun to look at. It's on the <a href="http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=y&type=2&season=2008" rel="nofollow">Leaderboards</a>.
