Harang takes early exit in no-decision: Dodgers starter Aaron Harang did not fare well on Tuesday night in a start at Arizona. Harang gave up a two-run home run to Josh Bell in the second inning, allowed another run in the third, and gave up two more in the fifth before departing. Harang allowed five earned runs total on nine base hits and no walks over 4 1/3 innings, but was saved of the losing decision. The Dodgers scored five times in the seventh inning to tie the score at six runs apiece, earning Harang the no-decision and letting him off the hook. The Dodgers’ starter threw 83 pitches and lasted just one out into the fifth inning. His ERA is at 4.36 on the season for Los Angeles. (Updated 05/23/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Harang had been pitching well coming into Tuesday’s start and saw his two-start winning streak snapped. That said, he was able to avoid taking the loss Tuesday and had allowed just one run over 15 innings in that two-win stretch. He'd been pitching extremely well prior to Tuesday. In fact, Tuesday was the first time he failed to pitch into at least the sixth inning since April 8 at San Diego when he also went 4 1/3. Harang should bounce back from his start on Tuesday, but is really only an NL-only Fantasy option most of the time. His next scheduled start comes Monday against Milwaukee and he will make two starts in the upcoming scoring period. That elevates his value slightly. (Updated 05/23/2012).

05/14/2012 17:05 Signs point to return for Dodgers GM Colletti, not a shock considering success
The new Dodgers management team prefers continuity and stability, and the Dodgers have baseball's best record. So expect GM Ned Colletti and manager Don Mattingly to stick around awhile even if it's new team policy not to announce extensions or renewals of top brass.
When Aaron Harang signed a one-year deal with the Padres a year ago, it appeared to be a good move for the homer-prone righty to ply his wares in pitcher-friendly PETCO Park. Sure enough, Harang enjoyed a solid comeback season, posting a 14-7 record with a 3.64 ERA. However, both of those stats are deceiving, as Harang enjoyed the benefit of more than seven runs of support per nine innings, and he stranded an improbably high 77 percent of his baserunners. With similar strikeout, walk and flyball rates to those he compiled in his last season as a Red, Harang is likely due for a downturn. This time around he will be pitching for the Dodgers, who may not offer as much run support as the Padres did in 2011. Despite his apparent comeback, owners should only be looking to draft Harang in deeper mixed leagues and NL-only formats. (Updated 2/17/12)
