Angels | Inquire about Haren

Ken Rosenthal, of FOXSports.com, reports the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim recently inquired about the availability of Arizona Diamondbacks SP Dan Haren, but the two teams did not get into serious discussions because the Diamondbacks see Haren as a critical part of their future. Talks could increase if the Angels overwhelmed the Diamondbacks with the right combination of players, according to a source, but the deal currently appears to be a longshot.

Haren shuts down Reds

Dan Haren was in control from the hill in Tuesday's 6-2 win at Cincinnati, as he only issued one earned run on four hits over seven innings. He had one walk and racked up nine strikeouts.

Our View: Haren enjoyed another strong outing, and trimmed his ERA to 2.19. He has allowed two or less earned runs in each of his last seven starts, and would likely have more than seven wins if he played for a better team than Arizona (31-46).

Haren homers, pitches Arizona past Reds 6-2

Diamondbacks | Haren credits cutter for success

Nick Piecoro, of The Arizona Republic, reports Arizona Diamondbacks SP Dan Haren is crediting his cut fastball as the reason for his success this year. "When I got traded over here before last year, I was really working on that pitch," Haren said. "It became a pretty good pitch for me last year, but it's something that I really have leaned on this year. I don't throw 93-94 (mph) anymore. It's more 90-92." Haren went from occasionally throwing the pitch to throwing it 20 to 30 times per game this year.

Analysis: More of the same from Haren, who hasn’t allowed more than two earned runs in any of his last six starts, and in 12 of 15 outings overall. Attempting to find a flaw in his season has been harder than trying to locate a needle in haystack; his 104/15 K/BB ratio is incredible; his 2.25 ERA leads the NL, and his 0.82 WHIP is best in the Majors. How do you like them apples? The D-backs ace is on track to toe the rubber again on June 30 in Cincinnati.

Haren dealt loss at Chase Field

Dan Haren only allowed two earned runs on four hits over seven innings in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers at Chase Field. He had one walk and racked up eight strikeouts.

Our View: Haren pitched well tonight, but was forced to take a loss due to poor run support from his teammates. He is now 6-5 despite a solid 2.25 ERA. His fantasy stock would be higher if he pitched for a better team than the Diamondbacks (30-42).

Arizona's Dan Haren (6-5) allowed two runs in seven innings

News: Arizona's Dan Haren (6-5) allowed two runs in seven innings on Wednesday against the Rangers but lost for the first time since May 12, a span of seven starts. He entered with a league-leading 2.23 ERA, and was riding a personal three-game win streak. For Haren, the game evoked memories of early in the season, when he received scant run support. Texas took a 1-0 lead in the second. Haren hit the first batter, Marlon Byrd, then walked Hank Blalock. After Brandon Boggs struck out, Teagarden, hitting .228, doubled down the left field line to score Byrd. An inning later, Ian Kinsler led off with a single, stole second (his 15th in 17 attempts) and scored on a single by Murphy to give the Rangers a 2-0 lead. That was all Haren allowed in a 116-pitch outing. He retired the last 11 batters he faced. Haren gave up four hits, walked one and struck out eight. [...]

Our View: In 14 starts this season, Haren has only not had a quality start three times. He is an elite fantasy player.

Haren growing frustrated

The Arizona Republic is reporting that Dan Haren has become frustrated with the Diamondbacks bullpen.

Our View: The D-Backs ace has every right to be frustrated, even livid, with the Backs porous pen. Two games in a row now, Haren has departed after seven innings with a five run lead, only to not earn the victory. While still an elite fantasy option, he would be even better if the D-Backs relievers could ever nail down a win for him.

Our View: Haren's ERA is down to 2.33 on the season and he looks as dominant as ever in 2009. He has three quality starts in his last three outings.

Just another day on the job for Haren, who is 2-0 with a 1.64

Just another day on the job for Haren, who is 2-0 with a 1.64 ERA over his last three starts. Unfortunately, the Arizona bullpen imploded for his second straight start, costing him another win.

The D-backs ace will tote a 2.42 ERA into San Diego for his next start on June 8.
