February 6, 200719 yr Per email: AARON HARANG AGREES TO 4-YEAR DEAL Righthander Avoids Arbitration, Signs Through 2010 CINCINNATI - The Cincinnati Reds and RHP Aaron Harang have avoided arbitration by agreeing to terms on a 4-year contract through the 2010 season with a club option for 2011. Financial terms of the contract were not disclosed. Harang and Reds executive vice president and general manager Wayne Krivsky will be available to the media at 2:00 p.m. today in the field level interview room at Great American Ball Park. Harang, 28, in 2006 put together one of the best seasons of any pitcher in baseball. The Reds' Opening Day starter led the National League in strikeouts (216) and complete games (6), tied for the NL lead in starts (35) and victories (16) and ranked among the leaders in innings pitched (234.1, 3rd), ERA (3.76, 11th), shutouts (2, T3rd), ERA on the road (2.98, 3rd), fewest walks per 9ip (2.2, 9th) and strikeouts per 9ip (8.3, 6th). Since he was acquired from the Athletics at the 2003 trading deadline, Harang is the club's leader in most statistical pitching categories, including starts (104), victories (41), innings pitched (653.0) and strikeouts (530). He has made 80 consecutive starts without walking more than 3 batters, the third-longest streak in baseball among active pitchers .

February 6, 200719 yr Just get one more pitcher come on. That is all the reds really need. He dont have to be a big name someone like Bronson that can come in and win 10 or 15. We are so close to the playoffs.
February 6, 200719 yr I agree, best move made in the postseason next to getting rid of Larue. Now they can surround Harang with a series of pitchers who are over the hill, have an ERA above the national debt and they will be well on their way to a SOLID 70 win season. : )
