Aaron Harang

ESPN's Buster Olney writes on Twitter: Heard this: Yankees working very hard tonight on deal for starting pitcher. Remember that they came close to deal for Aaron Harang in summer According to Cot's, Harang is signed with the Reds for $12.5 mi...  

The Cincinnati Reds have recently upgraded third baseman Scott Rolen's contract to tie him up for the next three years. That is all well and good, but I believe we had him for this year already, am I right? We have more pressing problems than pacifying a player for whom we already had mortgaged the farm—no play on words. Shortstops still change teams or get re-signed by their own club while we sit and wait it out. Craig Counsell of the...  

Scott Rolen agreed Saturday to a two-year contract extension with the Cincinnati Reds that guarantees him an additional $13 millio.  

Brian from Fonzi Forever points out that Reds RHP Aaron Harang, statistically, is not much different than John Lackey, who just signed a five-year, $87 million deal with the Red Sox. Yesterday, Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times said the Reds asked the Dodgers for one or two players from their major-league roster in return for Harang. …there HAS [...]  

When a baseball team drafts a player who rejects a full-ride scholarship to play wide receiver for a major college football team, it's safe to assume the kid is fast.  When that football team is from the best conference in the country (SEC), it's safe to say the kid can flat-out boot scoot as well as any major leaguer.  That's exactly what the Cincinnati Reds did with their second round (57th overall) selection in 2009. Billy Hamilton's speed...  

This is the first post of my in-depth review of the 2009 Cincinnati Reds.  After a quick look back at the season as a whole, I will now begin a player-by-player analysis of this year's performances and what to look for next year. Bronson Arroyo finished the year 15-13 with a 3.84 earned run average.  Despite beginning the season with discomfort caused by carpal tunnel syndrome, he was the workhorse of the pitching staff.  Arroyo made 33 starts...  

It has now been 14 years since the Cincinnati Reds and their fans last felt the excitement of postseason baseball.  A final record of 78-84 made 2009 the ninth consecutive losing season for the Reds.  The season started fairly well before injuries and a lack of consistent hitting began to take their toll. Here is a quick look at the 2009 season.  I will follow up with more in-depth player reviews as the offseason rolls on.   The Good The...  

The Cincinnati Reds offense left much to be desired during the 2009 season. The team ranked 24th in runs scored and 29th in batting average. Not only did they not add anything during the recent MLB Winter Meetings, they cut loose outfielder Jonny Gomes as well. Gomes hit 20 home runs last season in limited at-bats, good for third on the team. The Reds' moves, or lack thereof, can mean only one of two things: They are purposefully trying to...  

Baseball is often called "America's pastime." Since the 19th century, baseball has been one America's most popular sports. Unfortunately, baseball has always had a messy relationship with race and the Cincinnati Reds are no exception The Reds, founded in 1882, were the first professional baseball team, but its members have frequently lacked racial harmony.  

I can’t believe the Cincinnati Reds have no interest in keeping Jonny Gomes . I know Gomes is not the best player on the team; however, with a close look at the statistics, he wasn’t that far from it. With his departure, the Reds look weak, very weak. So, who will be playing left field in 2010?  Chris Dickerson, Wladimir Balentein, Chris Heisey, or Todd Frazier? That list makes me so nervous, I have to walk around the room for a moment. I am...  

The Orioles announced today that they have claimed catcher Craig Tatum off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds. Tatum hit .239 with three home runs and 21 RBIs in 64 games with Triple-A Louisville last season. He also appeared in 26 games for Cincinnati  

While Scott Rolen is still in the "honeymoon" stage with the Reds, I will be evaluating him on a 40-game season. His hitting is better than average, which should be expected for a .284 lifetime hitter. He didn't exhibit the power that I was so hopeful he would. Three home runs in a quarter of the season make it elementary enough to do the math; 12 home runs would not cut it for a corner infielder. He had a decent OBP as well at .364. With the...  

Reds' fans should be digging the offseason so far. First, Diamond Dick Pole was sacked—well, that was during the last week of play (the unofficial start of Reds offseason). Anybody would be better than Pole. While many Reds' faithful were ...
