Dan Haren is a roto king. He really does it all -- at least pre-All-Star break. His high inning total allows his tremendous ratios (ERA & WHIP) to be more valuable, and his 8.75 K/9 is among the league leaders. The best strategy with Haren would be to expend a high draft pick on him, and then trade him when he's named to the All-star team. His post-break number have plunged for three consecutive years. While he still turns in some good performances, what you can get for him mid-way will be worth more than keeping him. 15-0-3.20-1.10-210 in 220 IP

Positives / Upside	Haren is an elite source of ERA, K and WHIP. His ratios can stabilize your totals if you want to stream pitchers through your line-up. 18-0-3.10-1.05-215 in 225 IP
Negatives / Downside	Aside from his usual second-half drop-off, Haren is very unlucky when it comes to getting wins. Getting shoddy support from an anemic Diamondbacks offense doesn't help either. He's never eclipsed 16 wins in a season, despite the numbers of a 20-game winner. 13-0-3.30-1.15-200 in 210 IP
