It’s good to have Harang into the fold. He pitched a ton of innings last year, struck out a lot of people and was a pretty consistent performer in the gopher ball home stadium we call Great American Ballpark.
The Reds did a common sense thing and signed Harang to big money - money that, in today’s baseball economics, still looks like a bargain. Harang deserves the big money no matter what happens from here out. It’s probably safe to say that had arbitration determined Harang’s salary for next year, he wouldn’t have re-signed with Cincinnati. It’s tough to bust hump for less money and not be bitter. They get Harang for four more years and can pay him more if they want to should he improve on his past form.
So, that kept the Reds in place, like every other deal this season. What’s going to break the logjam?
