Haren to Arizona
Published 12/15/2007 by ryan vb at Cardinals Diaspora
I can’t help but to pine a little at thoughts of Dan Haren in the Cardinal rotation… Congrats and good luck Danny Boy. (Maybe we could trade Rolen for a bucket of healthy rotator cuffs and call the Mulder deal a push?)

Published 1/13/2008 by GC at Can't Stop The Bleeding
With yesterday’s shipment of Mark Kotsay to Atlanta following prior winter trades of such Oakland fixtures as Dan Haren and Nick Swisher, A’s fans can be excused if they suspect ownership has already given up on 2008.  Owner Lewis Wolff insists to the SF Chronicle’s John Shea, however, “I’m expecting much better than a .500 season.” (link swiped from Repoz and Baseball Think Factory). “Look, at the end of the day, it’s where you finish, but you’ve got to have a platform ...
