Newsbreakers
October 1, 2009
Dan Haren's recent struggles continued on Thursday, as the dominant righty got tagged for five runs in six innings, as the Diamondbacks lost 7-3 in San Francisco.
Our View:
The poor outing raised Haren's WHIP to 1.00, denying him the first sub-1.00 WHIP season since Johan Santana did it in 2006 for the Twins. After the All-Star break this year, Haren went just 5-5 with a 4.62 ERA in 15 starts.
September 26, 2009
Dan Haren was roughed up in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Padres. The Arizona ace allowed five runs on nine hits and three walks over six innings. He fanned eight and did not earn a decision.
Our View:
Haren's struggles in his last two outings have bumped him from the Cy Young conversation. With back-to-back five-run performances his ERA ballooned from 2.79 to 3.02. It's a frustrating stretch run of a great season by a very talented pitcher.
September 20, 2009
Dan Haren was excellent for the first six innings on Sunday but the D-Backs fell to the Rockies 5-1. Haren went eight innings and allowed five runs on eight hits while walking two and striking out seven.
Our View:
Haren went deep into the game, and he was excellent up until the seventh. He allowed all five runs in his last two innings, and it just seemed like he started to wear down. Haren has been very good overall this season, and he remains one of the better pitchers in the National League.
September 15, 2009
Dan Haren held the Padres to just two runs on five hits and a walk over eight innings on Tuesday. He fanned four and won his 14th game as the D-Backs doubled up the Pads 4-2.
Our View:
Haren now has five quality starts in a row since getting blasted by the Phillies on August 19th. He'll be in the top five conversation for this year's Cy Young if he keeps it up. Especially since he leads the world in WHIP.
September 10, 2009
Dan Haren struck out nine in 7.1 solid innings on Wednesday night, but took a no-decision, as Arizona rallied for a late 4-3 victory over the Dodgers.
Our View:
Haren is back on track after a rough early August, and is now just three strikeouts away from his second straight 200-K season.
September 4, 2009
Dan Haren was good on Friday, but his bullpen wasn't as the D-Backs allowed three runs in the final three innings to fall to the Rockies 5-4. Haren went six innings and allowed two runs on seven hits while walking one and striking out eight.
Our View:
Haren was good tonight, but unfortunately his bullpen couldn't deliver him a win. Haren has scuffled over the last month, and while he has fallen out of the Cy Young race, he has still had a very successful season in the desert.
August 30, 2009
Dan Haren earned his 13th win of the season with a seven-inning, three-run performance on Sunday. He scattered six hits and a pair of walks and fanned seven in a 4-3 win over the Astros.
Our View:
The win gave Haren his first since August 14th, and he has struggled in August (4.95 ERA) after being untouchable in the season's first four months.
August 19, 2009
Dan Haren struggled again on Wednesday as the D-Backs fell to the Phillies 9-1. Haren lasted only five innings, and he allowed six runs on nine hits while walking one and striking out six.
Our View:
Haren has not been very good in three of his last four starts, and he was victimized by a powerful Phillies' lineup tonight. It may be time to be a bit concerned that Haren isn't the dominating force he was for most of the season, but he still has the stuff to dominate every time out.
August 14, 2009
Dan Haren rebounded from two straight poor starts with eight stifling innings on Friday night, limiting the NL-west leading Dodgers to just one run, as Arizona won 4-1 at home.
Our View:
Now that's more like it. After allowing ten combined runs in his past two starts, Haren was back to dominating Friday night, and likely will be the rest of the season.
August 8, 2009
Dan Haren got lit up by the Washington Nationals of all teams on Saturday. He allowed five runs on seven hits over six innings and was handed his seventh loss of the season after a 5-2 defeat.
Our View:
Haren, arguably baseball's best pitcher this season, had a rare off night. He's now allowed five runs in each of his last two starts after being virtually flawless all season. His ERA jumped from 2.19 to 2.57. Don't let that scare you though, he's a safe bet to rebound.
August 3, 2009
Dan Haren gave up five earned runs on eight hits over seven innings in Monday's 6-5 win at New York. He had one walk and three strikeouts.
Our View:
The ace hurler did not have a solid outing, but the Diamondbacks provided enough run support for him to claim his 11th win of 2009. He snapped a two-game skid without a win.
July 29, 2009
Dan Haren was hit with his sixth loss of the season on Tuesday as the Diamondbacks fell to the Phillies 4-3. Haren went five innings and allowed two runs on four hits while walking three and striking out five.
Our View:
Not a typical dominant Haren performance tonight, but he still wasn't terrible. If this is a bad start for Haren, fantasy owners will gladly take it every once in a while. Expect him to dominate his next time out, as he is too good to struggle two outings in a row.
July 18, 2009
Dan Haren enjoyed another strong outing, as he only allowed one earned run on four hits over eight innings in Saturday's 4-2 win at St. Louis. He has two walks and racked up eight strikeouts.
Our View:
Haren earned his 10th win of the season, and the 75th of his career. The ace hurler recorded a win in four straight starts, and allowed two or less earned runs in each of his last 10.
July 10, 2009
Dan Haren was dominant in Friday's 8-0 win over the Marlins at Chase Field, as he only allowed four hits over nine shutout innings. He issued one walk and racked up 10 strikeouts.
Our View:
Haren has collected a win in three straight starts, and leads the Diamondbacks with nine victories and a 2.01 ERA for the season. The ace hurler has three complete games and recorded his first shutout as well.
July 5, 2009
Dan Haren allowed three runs (only one earned) on seven hits over six innings in Sunday's close 4-3 win at Colorado. He had no walks and racked up six strikeouts.
Our View:
Haren has claimed a win in four of his last five starts, and leads Arizona with eight victories for the season. He also leads the club with a 2.16 ERA and 119 strikeouts. These are strong numbers considering the Diamondbacks are 33-49.
June 30, 2009
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).
June 30, 2009
Dan Haren is not on Arizona's trading block, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.
Our View:
A team spokesman noted that he could not imagine a trade proposal that would motivate the club to deal Haren. The 28-year-old hurler holds a rock-solid 2.25 ERA and 0.81 WHIP.
June 24, 2009
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).
June 18, 2009
Dan Haren was his usual dominant self on Thursday night, going seven innings while allowing only two earned runs and striking out six. The D-Backs even managed to get him a win this time, and he is now 6-4 on the season.
Our View:
In 14 starts this season, Haren has only not had a quality start three times. He is an elite fantasy player.
June 12, 2009
Dan Haren was dominant in Friday's 8-1 win over the Astros at Chase Field, as he only allowed one earned run on two hits over nine innings. He had two walks and fired seven strikeouts.
Our View:
He now has a winning record at 5-4, and collected his first complete game of the season. He is pitching great right now as he allowed one earned run in each of his last three starts.
June 8, 2009
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.
June 7, 2009
Dan Haren allowed just one run on four hits and a walk over seven innings of work on Sunday. He struck out five but did not factor in the decision as Arizona eventually won the game in the 18th inning 9-6 over the Padres.
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.
May 28, 2009
Dan Haren was lights out on Thursday as the Diamondbacks defeated the Braves 5-2. Haren went eight innings and allowed two runs on seven hits. He did not walk a batter and he struck out eight.
Our View:
Haren has been one of the only bright spots out in the desert this season, and he continued his solid season tonight. Haren's ERA is at 2.54 on the year, but his record is only at 4-4 due to his team's lack of offensive pop. He is still a very strong play going forward.
May 18, 2009
Dan Haren will be kept on his normal schedule and will take the hill Monday at Florida, according to the Arizona Republic.
Our View:
Sunday's game was rained out. Jon Garland was to pitch yesterday, but will now go on Tuesday. The club did not announce any starters beyond Haren and Garland.
May 7, 2009
Dan Haren did not factor into the decision on Thursday as the Diamondbacks fell to the Padres in ten innings. Haren went six innings and surrendered three runs on eight hits while walking two and striking out four. He also managed to go 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored, and an RBI.
Our View:
This could be considered a bad start for Haren, which says a lot about how good he has been this season. His record is only 3-3, but his ERA is an impressive 1.84 and he has a very good strikeout ratio. If his team can find a way to give him some run support, he is one of the best pitchers in fantasy baseball.
May 2, 2009
Dan Haren only allowed one earned run on four hits over eight innings in Saturday's 4-1 win at Milwaukee. Haren fired 11 strikeouts with two walks.
Our View:
Haren is hot as he has won three straight starts, and has racked up 21 strikeouts over his last two outings.
April 27, 2009
Dan Haren went the distance as the Diamondbacks beat the Cubs 7-2 on Monday. He struck out 10 batters while allowing just three hits, although two of those were home runs.
Our View:
Despite the long balls, this was the fifth strong outing by Haren this season. However, he boasts a 2-3 record because of the poor offense behind him on most nights. Haren has struck out 36 batters against only five walks through 35 innings and has arguably been the best pitcher in the game in the early going.
April 22, 2009
Dan Haren struck out nine hitters in seven shutout innings of work. He scattered six hits and two walks on his way to earning his first win of the season.
Our View:
Haren has gotten a grand total of three runs of support in his four starts this season. He has pitched very well, but he has been perhaps the unluckiest of starters this April.
April 18, 2009
Can a guy buy a little run support? Dan Haren held the Giants to five hits and one run over six innings on Friday night, but the Diamondbacks lost 2-0. He walked none, struck out six, and is now 0-3 despite a 1.89 ERA.
Our View:
One. That's how many runs the Diamondbacks have scored in Haren's three starts. We wish Bob Uecker was here to make this situation sound funny. Right now, it just seems sad.
April 12, 2009
Dan Haren fell to 0-2, despite a second solid outing in Arizona's 3-1 loss on Sunday. Haren allowed two runs in six innings on four hits and three walks.
Our View:
Haren only struck out two while battling a loaded Dodgers lineup. Despite the two losses, he has looked good through two starts. Haren owners should just remain patient.
April 8, 2009
Dan Haren was the hard-luck loser on Tuesday night. He surrendered just one run and three hits in seven innings while fanning nine in a 3-0 loss to Colorado.
Our View:
Haren's only blemish of the night was a fifth-inning home run to Troy Tulowitzki. Other than that, he was truly dominant, sporting a strike-to-ball ratio better than 2:1.
April 1, 2009
Dan Haren was good, not great on Wednesday as he allowed two runs on three hits over five innings. He struck out five on the day.
Our View:
Haren is having sort of an up and down spring, but we expect him to have it all put together when the regular season starts up next week. He has a low ERA and a high K-rate. What's not to love?
March 27, 2009
Dan Haren was phenomenal on Friday against the Angels. He threw seven innings allowing only two hits and one run and struck out ten.
Our View:
Haren represents half of arguably the best one-two punch in the National League. He has struggled this spring, but looks to be coming around now. Expect him and Webb to be dominant again.
March 22, 2009
Dan Haren allowed nine hits, including two home runs, and five earned runs over five innings of work against the Padres on Sunday. He struck out five in the effort.
Our View:
Haren has not been overly impressive this spring, but there's no reason to think that he won't be among the better pitchers in the NL once again this season. However, last season he appeared to wear down in August and he has thrown nearly 900 innings over the last four seasons. There might be more risk tied to him than perceived at first glance.
March 17, 2009
Dan Haren looked sharp on Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing only one run over 4.2 innings. He did not allow a walk and struck out three in the effort.
Our View:
Haren has had an up and down spring, but is most likely just shaking off the rust and toying with pitches and arm angles. Consider him a top fantasy starter.
March 12, 2009
Dan Haren had an overall successful outing against Oakland on Thursday, giving up one run off a hit and three walks while striking out four in three innings of work.
Our View:
Haren did stuggle a bit with his control, the opposite of his start against the Angels five days ago when he failed to walk anyone but surrendered seven hits in just two innings. Still, there's little to worry about with Haren who is a notorious quick starter and should be in top form by the season's commencement.
March 7, 2009
While he did strike out four batters, Dan Haren still got rocked by the Angels on Saturday, giving up four runs off seven hits in two innings.
Our View:
Don't feel any need to worry about Haren, who was barely touched in his first two spring training outings and remains a sure-fire top-10 pitcher.
March 5, 2009
Dan Haren has expressed displeasure with Randy Johnson for what he feels were critical remarks made by the former Arizona pitcher toward catcher Chris Snyder, according to the Arizona Republic. "I didn't like the things he said and I thought it was a shot at Snydes, without ever saying his name," Haren said. "It was kind of surprising when I read that."
Our View:
Johnson said to reporters Tuesday that he thought highly of Snyder's backup, Miguel Montero, because he was "eager to learn" and "listened to me."
March 2, 2009
Dan Haren was effective again as he mowed down Cub hitters Monday, throwing two hitless innings with two strikeouts and a lone walk. His preseason ERA stands at 2.25.
Our View:
If early spring is any indication, Haren seems poised for another solid season. With Haren entering his prime the D-Backs have as good a one-two punch as any team in the league with him and fellow ace Brandon Webb.
February 26, 2009
Dan Haren went two innings Thursday, allowing one earned run on one hit in a 15-9 win over Cleveland.
Our View:
Haren will likely give fantasy owners yet another solid season in 2009. The 28-year-old hurler has had back-to-back solid seasons and now enters the prime of his career. Anything less than another 16-win campaign would have to be considered a bit of a disappointment.
