Therefore, though inconsistent, he's a keeper. I think he is 1st or 2nd in total starts the past 4 years. And yes, he wins, despite a high ERA. He eats up innings. He's a good 4th starter. Who's going to replace him/ Micah Owings? Harang had a good start the last 2 times out prior to yesterday. The keys are Cueto, Bailey (who's been dcent lately, finally) and the return of Volquez as you know what you're getting at this point with Bronson and Aaron. On Arroyo, he wins and gives you innings.

Aaron Harang needs to keep pitching like he has recently? I hope not, over his last 5 starts he has seen his ERA go from 3.65 to 4.18. And don't even get me started on Bronson Arroyo. Until his complete game shut out, he had given up 6 or more earned runs in his last 3 starts. If the Reds as a a team were limping towards the break, Harang and Arroyo were crawling... You may not like to hear this, but I say the Reds trade away Arroyo and take whatever they possibly can for him. The same can be said if. Granted, Arroyo is on pace for 18 wins, but also an ERA over 5 and a WHIP hovering around 1.5. I don't think it should be hard for the Reds to replace him in the rotation...
