Cubs acquire Dan Haren

[Andy]

By the way, we are still going to need a starter for Sunday.

Yep. Haren pitched yesterday. All the more reason to believe this isn't it.

[Rob]

Ok.

 

I'm not high on Haren, but he's better than our other fifth starter options. Assuming the prospects are mostly non-entities, this is a fine move. Uninspiring, but still an improvement.

Not saying Theo is perfect, but these are the times when I don't believe we have to worry we gave up anything. At all. He knows what's up.

Yeah, not even the same at all.

Montero: “Haren is not what he was, everyone knows that but the one thing that he has, and I would take it any day, is he has guts."

That was the missing ingredient all along... guts!

Wada should be good to go Sunday right?

Might be a let down, but Haren throws strikes and gives you an experienced alternative if Lester or Arrieta don't line up for WC game.

I mean Danks is making $15 million the next two years, Haren is virtually free. Huge difference.

Remember that time we started Mark Clark in game 1 against Atlanta? (Or maybe we didn't. That's how I remember it and I'm too lazy to look it up).

I really doubt it's anyone of consequence.

Was it Game 1 or 2 that Tapani almost threw a shutout?

Well [expletive], was definitely hoping for more. Maybe we're still involved in other stuff....
