BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues
OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Someone who might be useful in deeper fantasy leagues this year is Aaron Harang. Harang was beat up most of spring training and has yet to produce an ERA of less than 3.57 in his career. However, throughout his last start against the Red Sox, Harang flashed noteworthy talent posting eight strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings, while surrendering only two hits.
Harang doesn’t have any overpowering stuff anymore, and not having a go-to power pitch can frequently lead pitchers into getting smoked by batters. Yet, while he lacks an elite go-to pitch, he often flaunts terrific control. He solidified that claim on Wednesday by perfectly locating his pitches one after another en route to a tremendous outing.
I would wait one more start to make sure his last game against the loaded red sox lineup wasn’t just a fluke, but if he thrives again, I’d pounce on him off the waiver wire. Harang could be a valuable waiver wire pickup for certain league formats.
