There is NO reason that Dan Haren shouldnt win the Cy Young?

Question

He has the BEST ERA in the NL and in his last 10 starts his ERA is like 1.23 not giving up more than 2 ER in any of them

He leads the NL in whip

He is now 10-5

He is the BEST pitcher in the MLB

Answer 1

I LOVE HIM and I want him back on the A's!

=[

Answer 2

Being a Halo fan, I'm rooting for Saunders, Santana, or K-Rod (the latter having the best chance to win it, imo)... but Haren really is an outstanding pitcher and is a Cy Young potential, without a doubt.

Answer 3

im def rooting for haren to win the cy young although there are some other very worthy candidates too.  i was bummed to see haren fall apart sort of last year in oakland and hope he gets one this year.

lincecum, volquez, webb are going to be right there in the race for the award. im excited to see them battle it out

Answer 4

Somebody must've forgotten that Daisuke Matsuzaka and Cliff Lee are pitching regularly this year..

Really, stop living inside that box you call Arizona and expand your baseball knowledge.

Answer 5

well wait till the end of the season with haren. remember last year when at the all-star break he was a no doubt cy young award winner? then he struggled in the second half of the season so lets see what his final stats are.

Answer 6

Haren is an excellent pitcher, but there is still a long way to go.  All he needs is a rough stretch and he'll fall behind the other top pitchers like Tim Lincecum (who's going to be awesome), Brandon Webb, Edison Volquez, etc.  I wouldn't mind seeing Haren do well so the A's trade doesn't look good.  The A's are merely a quadruple A team, developing talent for any team looking for a top player.

Answer 7

Dan Haren isn't even the best pitcher on his own team, Webb is.

Best pitchers in the MLB, not solely based on this season:

Roy Halladay

Brandon Webb

Jake Peavy

John Lackey

Tim Lincecum

Dan Haren

Answer 8

Your right, he should win the Cy Young award this year, but Tim Linececum has been better on a far worse team with comparable stats. It will be between these two guys in the end.

Answer 9

Haren sucks, get over it

Answer 10

I don't see Haren winning the cy young with Brandon Webb's hot start, but Webb has slowed down recently. Volquez has been steadily seeing his ERA rise, Tim Lincecum has the best shot at the NL Cy Young he's been dominant all season long.

Answer 11

i've always liked danny haren ever since he was in oakland. He and Zito were really great on the staff.

its very entertaining to see the guy pitch

I certainly think he has a shot! a bit more than others..

i think fellow d-back webb and volquez from the reds are really shining this year as well!
