Aaron Harang has asked for $5.5 million and been offered $4.25 million by the Reds.  Harang is the lone arbitration case to be settled for Cincinnati. 

On a side note, what does a career record of 54-62 with a 4.86 ERA in 184 games warrant in today’s MLB pitching market?  If you’re Kyle Loshe, it’s a one year deal worth 4.2 million dollars.  Has the world gone bonkers or did the economics of baseball shift drastically ahead a few million bucks in the last few months?  Harang looks like an absolute bargain at his arbitration asking price of $5.5 mil.  I’ve got to think he going to get that much money at arbitration.
