I feel like with the Santana talks crumbling, people might start talking about getting Danny Haren, but he really started to crumble last year as the season wore on. Don't get me wrong- he's a good pitcher, but he doesn't seem to be a surefire ace, and one wonders if the league is catching up to him or if his arm wore down physically, as he had 3-4 months in a row where his perofrmance slipped:

it's gonna cost an absurd package of talent to steal him away from OAK... Billie Beane's not gonna deal a guy like that who's signed to reasonable dollars for just 1 blue chipper... he's gonna demand the world for him.

No Joba, Hughes, Kennedy, Tabata, Moreno or Betances. And no more than 2 prospects for Haren.

I'd rather do nothing at this point. The Yankees are 1 year away from finding out how deep their system is as some high end prospects start rehabbing from surgeries (Cox, Brackman and Sanchez) and the big 3 get a full year of major league experience.

Why is Beane looking to trade Haren anyway? I think he's overrated and Beane wants to sell high.
If it didn’t work in Phoenix with Nash and Stoutamire... it’s just not a winning formula. It’s an entertaining formula, but not a winning one. - Derek Harper talking about D'Antoni's System

Beane sees all the activity going on & there seems to be an unprecedented amount of teams that are stocked w/great young talent to go after... i guess he thinks he'll sucker some team into paying a King's ransom for Haren out of desperation to keep up in the nuclear arms race.
