Crooked Pitch

Not that you’re dying to get his 3-11 record with a 4.76 ERA back into your lineup, but Aaron Harang seems to be ready for MLB action action after being placed on the DL before the All-Star break.

Harang pitched in a Triple-A rehab game Monday night and went six innings while striking out six and walking none. He threw only 69 pitches, 46 for strikes, and allowed only five hits.

Dusty Baker would like to see Harang make another rehab start in Louisville, but Harang would rather pitch in Cincinnati next. With the power of this great performance last night, Harang might get his way and be back in Cincinnati by this weekend.

Although Harang’s record is sub-par this season, he’s still a strikeout machine. And he is coming off of back-to-back 16 win seasons. Harang is an easy start in mixed leagues, and if you can get him really cheap via trade, you might try and do so.
