Aaron Harang for Chris Ray. Is this fair? 5x5, 10 team. I'm way loaded w/saves. with about a 25-30 save lead. Is this fair or veto material? Harang looks good to me but I'm looking for an outside opinion.

Straight up - no way. But...if you are loaded with saves...Harang's not a bad starter, however, he's got two things going against him.
1. Great American Ballpark is a hitter's park...the HR's fly out of there left and right so be prepared to deal with a high ERA at home. (He is 2-3 with a 6.00ERA at home vs. 6-2 with a 1.57 on the road).
2. This is the big one - the Reds are a first half club. As a fan, I watch them do this every year...Strong start in April and May...waver in June / July...fall apart by August...out of it completely by September. So...be prepared to cut Harang when the Reds bats go quiet and he is getting zero run support.

If you don't recall Chris Ray blew a 3 run lead against the Marlins the other day giving up two back to back homeruns. Aaron Harang has finally lived up to his potential and has shown great confidence in a newly revived Cincinatti rotation.

If you are trading for Harang, then yes. I am in a similar situation where I am leading my league in saves by almost 30, and I am trying to move a closer or two. But study your FA pool. There may be someone who can post better ERA, but as far as his WHIP and strikeouts, he will help a lot.

for as valuable as saves are in a 5x5, you may be able to do better. if not, harang is solid....cincy is having a nice year so the record should be good and he'll give a ton of K's....yeah, that's a fair deal.
