Yea trading for Haren would be very very disappointing Luhnow won't be moving prospects unless he can get a legit upgrade
Haren: ERA+ = 96, FIP = 4.17 (same as his 4 year average). Feldman: ERA+ = 96, FIP = 4.19 So, you were saying?
Nnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooo hhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeee hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaasssssssssssssnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn''''''''''''''ttttttttttttttttttttttt.
Haren has a career 1.180 whip, that my friends is awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Feldman??? Cough cough, 1.326 If you want to compare both??? Be my guest Feldman allows more hits than inning, Haren, Noooooo McHugh was mentioned??? Well, this year his whip is 1.292, higher than Haren I take Haren, and would be a GREAT number 3 just because McCullers is just pitching lights out
While he figures out ways for the Astros to take two steps sideways and continues to attempt to change the argument to suit his nonsense, Brett Phillips just hit his first homer as a member of the Corpus Christi Hooks. It's his 16th of the year and gives the Hooks a 9-3 lead over Midland in the 8th.
Who knew baseball games were decided by WHIP and that extra base hits didn't matter. Haren gives up more Flyballs, which result in a lower average, but more extra base hits, while giving up fewer GBs which result in double plays. Dan Haren gives up more hard hit balls, which result in more extra base hits.
Plus he pitches at Marlins park, where his fly ball tendencies don't hurt as much. His ERA is over 1 run higher on the road (4.13 vs 2.83) as is his fip (4.70 vs 3.94)
that is your argument??? Lets see IF Hamels has the same "problem", Phillies paying PART of the salary to pitch with another team. And REMEMBER, in that trade Miami traded Heany, who is the number 1 prospect of the Angels, and is having a veryyyyy good year with them.
Wow, greatttttt, if we can get the 2.83 on the road we may FINALLY start winning road games instead of going 2 and 8 like the last road trip. Lets do itttttttt, we need that great pitcher on the road, as we DO HIT at home.
No, I made my argument, which says statistically Haren is average at best. $10M is all of Haren's salary. And go ahead and compare the contending Dodgers and the last place Phillies.
