same for Dice-K

15 wins isn't bad and I don't see him have a sub 4 era this year. Carmona will be better, although it didn't look like it today against Oakland. I like his stuff a lot though, he has one of the nastiest sliders in the game. Santana will be better when it matters, in the postseason. I'm not sure he'll dominate the regular season simply because he's been too good the past few years. Last, and probably least, is Rich Harden. Same for him. Until he turns into a closer he'll never be able to make it in the bigs. I've stopped feeling sorry for him and want to see him (as Duane Kuiper would say) outta here! -bB

Gotta Go Worse For.....

....Harden because he just gets injured too much and this time it might be real serious from what Rotoworld is saying. Dan Haren will actually be better because of the team he plays for that can score runs for him now. The D-Backs are staight fire. Let's hope the D-Train can get his act together.

re:

I expect Haren to have a worse season this year than last. Whenever the A's trade away a pitcher, they almost immediately revert to their little league days and forget how to throw strikes. Hudson, Mulder, Zito, and Lilly all most prominently sucked right when they left. I expect Haren to be no different. The D-Backs are so good though that it shouldn't matter. LB23

Haren Has Nasty Stuff....

.....and unlike Mulder or Hudson isn't injury prone. Expect him to win at least 18 this year.

No kidding

The only reason Haren suffered last year was because he had no run support behind him. Now he's in the NL and with a pretty decent team? I expect him to have wicked numbers this year...
