    Nice signing by the Dodgers...he really found the fountain of your the 2nd half of last season.

      I'm (pleasantly) surprised as a Dodger fan-- I thought he was a pretty coveted free agent. Thought he would get a 2- or 3- yr deal. Heck, Vargas got four years!

        Josh Johnson gets 1/8 coming off a complete shit season and elbow surgery
        Haren gets 1/10 coming off a non-surgical shoulder inflammation & a very strong 2nd half. Go figure

        Oh, and read this on how Haren made adjustments while on the DL - http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...imulated-game/

          Haren and/or his agent made a fast, bad deal, that's all. Given the Dodgers' being the new biggest spenders in MLB, he certainly could have gotten more from them.

            As of right now, Dodger starters signed for 2k14 are:

            Kershaw
            Greinke
            Ryu
            Haren
            Billingsley (injured --- out until June 2014)
            Beckett (injured - status unknown)
            Just out of curiosity--In your opinion, do the Dodgers have "prospects" close enough to the majors that they may think they don't need to sign anyone to a contract beyond a year?

            Or could it be that Haren sought just a one year deal because he thinks he can rebuild his value with a better year than the last two?

              Haren went to HS & College in the area - that would likely be a factor for him.

                Zach Lee's reviews were rather poor the last time I checked in on them.

                Wrote up the deal at FG today - http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/dan-h...erpaid-dodger/

                  Would you guys keep Haren at $15 in a 12 team NL only league where you start 10 pitchers? I think his second half last year makes him a keeper but can he keep it up for a whole season?

                    eld, Moonlight--Thanks for the information.

                    Bucky--10 pitchers, 12-team league, I guess it depends on how much inflation you anticipate. I'd certainly consider it, but consider the source.
