September 26, 2008 Dan Haren already has a career-high 16 victories this season, now he is in search of his first 200-K season, according to The Arizona Republic. "When I'm throwing balls exactly where I want it, I tend to get more strikeouts," he said. "As the year went along and I was really throwing the ball well, it was when I had my best command." Our View:Haren has 197 K, already a career best, and he will pitch tonight against the Rockies needing just three punchouts to reach his goal. Only six others have hit the 200 mark this season, so it's some pretty rarified air these days. |
|
September 21, 2008 Dan Haren picked up his 16th victory of the season on Sunday with six decent innings against the Rockies. Haren allowed three runs, struck out four and didn't walk a batter. Our View:The 16 wins are a new career-high for Haren after totals of 14, 14 and 15 the past three seasons. Haren will also set a career best in WHIP provided he isn't tattooed in his final start as his current mark 1.12 of is better than the 1.21 mark he posted in each of the past two seasons. |
|
September 16, 2008 Dan Haren tossed a gem Tuesday, shutting out the Giants while allowing only four hits and two walks with 12 strikeouts in a 2-0 win. Our View:Brandon Webb will probably get more Cy Young votes with his 20 wins, but Haren has had the better season. |
|
September 10, 2008 Dan Haren needed 99 pitches to complete four wild innings on Wednesday before he was removed from the game against the Giants. Haren held the Giants to just two runs, one earned, but he allowed six hits and three walks in the outing. Our View:With the team struggling, Haren really needed to step up today. He didn't. Though he threw 99 pitches, it was pretty surprising to see him pulled after four innings raising the possibility that he is injured, something that could be easily inferred from his lack of performance in his past three outings (0-2, 7.07 ERA, 2.07 WHIP). |
|
September 6, 2008 Dan Haren had his fourth consecutive poor outing, and this one was the worst. He allowed five earned runs over four innings in a big game against the Dodgers on Friday night. He walked four and struck out just two. Our View:Haren has given up 17 runs over his last four starts. Sure it's not terrible but it's below Haren's high standards. His ERA has risen from 2.96 to 3.41 over that span. |
|
August 30, 2008 Dan Haren was rocked for five earned runs on 10 hits over six innings in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Dodgers, with no walks and five strikeouts. He gave up two home runs, one to Manny Ramirez and the other to Jeff Kemp. Our View:Haren has allowed at least five earned runs in three of his last five starts, but closed out August with a winning record at 3-2. |
|
August 25, 2008 Dan Haren did not figure in the decision in the Diamondbacks 4-2 loss to San Diego, but he threw well, going seven innings, allowing two earned runs and striking out 11. Our View:Haren has had a difficult August, but a few more performances like this and his ERA will be back below 3.00 soon. |
|
August 22, 2008 Dan Haren gave up five earned runs on 11 hits in his last start against the Padres and is aiming to make adjustments when he faces them again at PETCO Park next week, according to the Arizona Republic. The Padres had success against him while aggressively swinging early in the count, and manager Bob Melvin said, "The Padres definitely are a team that's pretty aggressive but surprised me a little last night. Haren just doesn't walk anybody. As dominant as he's been, I think it was a pretty good approach for them. They'll have to face him again at their place, and Danny's pretty good about making adjustments and can throw breaking stuff for strikes early in the count. So we'll see how adjustments go on both sides." Our View:Haren is 14-6 with a 3.12 ERA and 1.06 WHIP and looks to fare better in his next outing against San Diego. |
|
August 20, 2008 The much-hyped pitching match-up between Dan Haren and Jake Peavy never materialized, as both pitchers struggled, though Haren and the Diamondbacks wound up getting the 8-6 win. Haren went six innings, surrendering five earned runs on 11 hits. Our View:Despite his performance, Haren remains one of the top pitchers in fantasy baseball, and will continue to be for a number of years. |
|
August 14, 2008 Diamondbacks pitcher Dan Haren threw a great game against the Rockies, going eight innings and surrendering just two runs while striking out nine and gaining his 13th victory in the team's 6-2 win. Our View:Haren's ERA shrunk below 3.00 for the season, and he remains one of the most unappreciated starters in fantasy. |
|
August 9, 2008 With Arizona taking the fall in depressing fashion against the Braves, 11-4, ace Dan Haren has taken a loss, pitching 5 1/3 innings with six runs (all earned) on 10 hits with three walks and five strikeouts. Our View:Haren drops to 12-6 on the season with an ERA of 3.00. This is his first loss in six starts, though his last four outings have gotten progressively shorter with more runs surrendered than the previous game in each. |
|
August 5, 2008 The Diamondbacks have signed Dan Haren to a two-year contract extension that will keep him in the desert through 2012, MLB.com reports. Haren will make $31 million over the 2011 and 2012 seasons, and the club owns a $15.5 million option for 2013. Our View:So, drinks are on Dan's tab tonight? The D'Backs have one of the best 1-2 punches in all of baseball, and the local fans should be in for a long run of Haren and Brandon Webb working together. |
|
August 5, 2008 The Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday will announce a contract extension for All-Star right-hander Dan Haren, according to PA Sports Ticker. Our View:In his prime at 27 years old, Haren owns a career record of 61-49 with a 3.65 ERA in 153 games. |
|
August 4, 2008 Dan Haren won his 12th game of the year, putting up six innings and surrendering four earned runs while striking out eight against the Pirates. Our View:Haren had a sub-2.00 ERA in July, and he has won his last four starts, so he is clearly pitching very well. |
|
July 30, 2008 Dan Haren did what he always does and that is he gave the D'backs a chance to win which they did for the 55th time this season in Haren's 11th victory of the year. Our View:Haren allowed three runs in seven innings, but as his his M.O. he didn't walk anyone while striking out six. The guy is simply money as he has allowed as many as three earned runs only twice in his last 11 starts. |
|
July 19, 2008 Dan Haren kept the Dodgers' bats in check Saturday, tossing seven scoreless innings while allowing four hits and two walks with seven strikeouts. Our View:Brandon Lyon tried to blow Haren's win in the ninth but hung on. Haren is 9-5 on the year. |
|
July 15, 2008 Dan Haren threw two scoreless innings for the National League in the All-Star Game, giving up two hits, walking one, and not allowing any runs. Our View:Haren faced his old American League compatriots and set them down to do his part to help the National League. |
|
July 10, 2008 Dan Haren dominated the Nationals for eight innings allowing only two runs, one earned, in a no-decision. Haren walked two on the night with nine K. Our View:Haren left without allowing a run, but you can thank Brandon Lyon (and Mark Reynolds) for blowing Haren's outing by allowing two inherited runners to score. Haren enters the All-Star break at 8-5 with a 2.72 ERA and a 0.95 WHIP in a spectacular first half season in the NL. |
|
July 10, 2008 Arizona pitcher Dan Haren, who starts tonight against the Nationals, is on a roll. He has thrown seven innings in each of his last four outings, and has given up just 18 hits and three earned runs in that time. Our View:If you have Haren on your fantasy squad, make sure he is in your lineup, as the Washington Nationals are one of the worst offensive teams in baseball. |
|
July 4, 2008 Dan Haren only surrendered two earned runs on seven hits over seven innings in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Padres, with one walk and seven strikeouts. Our View:He pitched well enough to win, but a lack of run support dropped his record to 8-5. He only allowed one earned run over his previous three starts heading into tonight, and should remain a must-start in all fantasy leagues. |
|
July 2, 2008 Dan Haren has been named the NL Pitcher of the Month for June, according to the AP. who went 3-0 with a 1.32 ERA over 41 innings in the month, with 36 strikeouts. Our View:Haren is 8-4 overall, with a 2.85 ERA and 0.97 WHIP, and will remain a must-start in all leagues. |
|
June 29, 2008 Dan Haren pitched well in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins, as he only surrendered one run (not earned) on five hits over seven innings, with two walks and seven strikeouts. He ended the day with a no decision. Our View:His no decision snapped a two-game winning streak, but fantasy owners should still be very pleased by today's performance. He has only allowed three total earned runs over his last four starts. |
|
June 23, 2008 Dan Haren was nails for the D'Backs Monday, holding the Red Sox scoreless over seven innings while allowing just two hits and a walk with five strikeouts. Our View:This is the first win on the road for Haren this year. He given up just six runs in five starts this month. |
|
June 23, 2008 Dan Haren is 0-3 in three career starts at Fenway Park. He hopes to reverse that trend tonight when he squares off against Josh Beckett. Our View:Haren is 2-0 with a 2.00 ERA in his last four starts but this mathup does not bode well. |
|
June 18, 2008 Arizona RHP Dan Haren got plenty of offensive support this evening in the Diamondbacks' 11-1 win over Oakland, but the motivation to put his old employer to the gutter ruled the night and gave Haren the drive for a top performance. Haren pitched seven innings to allow just one run on four hits with one walk and eight strikeouts. Our View:Haren moves to 7-4 with an ERA of 3.26, now sitting at 2-0 over four starts this month. In that span through June, he has allowed just six combined earned runs with five walks versus 24 strikeouts. |
|
June 12, 2008 Dan Haren worked six strong innings on Thursday permitting the Mets to score only two runs in a no-decision. Haren, as always, exhibited tremendous control walking none while striking out five. Our View:Simply put, Haren is one of the best starters in baseball, and a tremendous number two option for Arizona. Haren has made 14 starts this year and 13 times he has allowed two or fewer walks, which goes a long way to explaining his success. |
|
June 7, 2008 Dan Haren hurled another quality start on Saturday allowing three runs in seven innings against the Pirates to pick up a no-decision. Our View:Haren was stung for two home runs on the day, but thanks to his ability to limit base runners, he allowed one six base runners, he was able to limit the damage. |
|
June 1, 2008 Haren was outstanding for seven innings on Sunday helping the Diamondbacks post back-to-back shutouts for the first time since May 26-27, 2006, at Cincinnati. Haren allowed four hits, walked three and struck out five in the win. Our View:Haren lowered his 3.75 ERA to 3.40 after the effort and won his sixth game of the season. |
|
May 22, 2008 Dan Haren was sailing along until he surrendered three runs in the seventh inning as he came out on the losing end of a 4-0 loss to the Marlins. Haren allowed all four runs in 6.2 innings though he did not allow a walk while striking out eight. Our View:Through his first 10 starts in the NL Haren owns a 3.39 ERA and 1.01 WHIP and has provided exactly what those who invested an early pick on him this year had hoped for. |
|
May 16, 2008 Dan Haren registered his fifth win of the season on Friday as Arizona topped Detroit 4-3. Haren allowed three runs on six hits over seven innings, with no walks and four strikeouts. Most of the damage came on a two-run homer by Miguel Cabrera. Our View:Haren held an excellent 0.99 WHIP over 50.1 innings prior to tonight's outing, and he only had one poor start all season, when he got rocked for five earned runs on nine hits over 4.2 innings against the Dodgers on April 23. Haren has played up to high expectations with the D-Backs so far this season. |
|
May 9, 2008 Dan Haren allowed two runs on five hits, walked two and struck out five over seven innings, but suffered his second loss of the season to an even better Ted Lilly and the Cubs on Friday afternoon. Our View:Haren was good enough to win in the day game at historic Wrigley field, but Ted Lilly was better. The Diamondbacks have hit a part of the schedule that will test their metal, with a road trip in Chicago before returning home to face a desperate Rockies team and then an innerleague series against Detroit. |
|
May 9, 2008 Dan Haren will be targeting his fifth win of the season when the Diamondbacks battle the Cubs in Chicago today, according to MLB.com. Haren is 4-1 this season, with a 3.12 ERA and stellar 0.99 WHIP over 43.1 innings, with only eight walks and 36 strikeouts. Our View:Haren is 0-1 with a 12.46 ERA at Wrigley Field, but he should be locked into your lineups today. |
|

Haren allowed three runs on five hits, struck out five while walking one. Our View:Haren won his fourth game in April. The effort against the Astros on Monday night landed his ERA at 3.13, WHIP at 1.05 and he now has 29 strikeouts in 37.1 innings of work. |
|
April 24, 2008 Dan Haren pitched his worst game of the season on Wednesday night as he allowed six runs, five earned, in just 4.2 innings against the Dodgers to pick up his first loss. Our View:Every pitcher has a bad outing every once in a while, and this was just one of those night's for Haren. This was the first time in five starts this season that he permitted more than three runs or failed to pitch at least six innings in a game. |
|
April 18, 2008 For the first time in four outings Dan Haren pitched more than six innings, he went seven tonight, and he held the Padres scoreless on just three hits and a walk to pick up his third victory of the season.

|

|
April 7, 2008 Dan Haren won his first game as a Diamondback on Monday night as he held the Dodgers to just one earned run in six innings. Haren also displayed his trademark control on Monday night as he struck out five without a single walk. Haren should settle in quite nicely behind Brandon Webb and he just might be the best starter in all of baseball this season. |
|
April 2, 2008 In the first official start of his D'backs career, Dan Haren allowed three runs on four hits and a walk on Wednesday. Haren was solid throughout but two mistakes were hit for home runs ruining his outing. Still, he was able to make it through six innings on just 90 pitches and showed flashes of being the dominant pitcher that he is. |
|
March 27, 2008 Dan Haren earned his first win of the spring against the White Sox on Thursday, as he only allowed two runs on three hits over seven innings of work, with one walk and six strikeouts. Both of the runs came on solo homers by Konerko and Dye, and this was a strong outing overall for the D-Backs' hurler. |
|
March 22, 2008 Dan Haren allowed just three hits and a walk while recording an amazing 11 strikeouts during six scoreless innings pitched in a camp game today, but the team is more excited about his strength while hitting a target pitch count of 90, according to MLB.com. Haren has one more start scheduled before the regular season (slated to start the second game of the year), and the team has decided to use these last two outings to test Haren’s ability to go deep into games. Today’s performance is a good sign that the righty should be just fine. "I felt good," Haren said. "I tried to treat it like it was a real game. I was able to work with Robby for the first time, which was nice, and much needed, too. My arm continues to gain strength. Obviously, the results were good. I'm not necessarily looking for the greatest results. I just want to make sure all my pitches are crisp and there, and they were today. I'm sure that's why I had success today. I'm just glad I got my pitch count up to 90. I should be good to go next time for a full load." |
|
March 7, 2008 Dan Haren mostly threw sinking fastballs and splitters after joining the A's, but he's been working on elevating his fastballs this spring with the Diamondbacks, according to the Arizona Republic. "Going up in the zone, elevating, especially after throwing a few down there, can be useful," he said. "Changing their eye level . . . if they swing at it or not," he said, "just to change it and then maybe go back to the split or breaking ball from there, just change it up a bit." You have to love a 15-game winner, who carried a 3.07 ERA and 1.21 WHIP last season, who wants to keep improving his game. |
|
March 1, 2008 Dan Haren made his Arizona spring debut on Saturday. The ex-Athletic allowed one run on five hits over a pair of innings. Three of Haren's four strikeouts came on outstanding split-finger fastballs. Haren is a top-tiered mixed league option. His move from the AL to NL is positive; his venue move from Oakland to Arizona isn't. |
