Tony,
Everyone thought the Indians got robbed when they traded Bartolo Colon for Grady Sizemore, Brandon Phillips, Cliff Lee and others. We won’t know for years. I think what Arizona got could end up better than what the phils got for lee.

Yankees aren’t stupid, Haren’s WHIP and era are awful this year. That’s why they were willing to only go so far. I for one am glad Rube didn’t add to his offer.

LOL, if you are comparing what ARI got with what Moron got for Lee, you aren’t much smarter than said Moron.
Both the Lee and Haren giveaways are heists.
Here’s what one ESPN writer had to say so far:
“As for the prospects the Diamondbacks got in this deal, Patrick Corbin is a former second-round pick in 2009, a left-handed starter who’s 21 and has never pitched above Class A. Supposedly the player to be named later is a good-not-great prospect (not Mike Trout). Rafael Rodriguez has already been to the majors and has just 11 strikeouts in 32 2/3 career big-league innings. Here’s what my friend and ESPN.com colleague Jason Grey had to say about these kids: “Rodriguez isn’t a fantasy consideration. At best, his role will be as a middle reliever at the big-league level. Corbin is developing a change, and he won’t be coming to the majors quickly; he’s a potential No. 3 or 4 starter down the road, but is at least a couple years away.”
To me, this looks like highway robbery for the Angels, and a salary dump for the Diamondbacks. Unless the player-to-be-named is a much better prospect than has been hinted at in published reports, it’s actually hard to imagine this was the best package the Diamondbacks could’ve gotten. But regardless, don’t let Haren’s move scare you off him. I think he’ll be quite valuable in the season’s final two months.”

Haren definitely developed attitude with the D’Backs and losing. I still dont think this will put the Angels in contention, Texas is that good and the WC should come out of the AL East but, at least they are winning.
Haren wins.

Tony,
Those comments were before anyone knew Skaggs was the #1 piece. Haren is having an awful year, worse than Saunders. The Angels did not want to give up Skaggs. it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.
