Here's what one tools guy said about Harang.

Bubba (Cincinnati, OH): Do the Reds have any potential in their starting rotation? LaRussa is high on Dave Williams (from the Casey trade) and Paul Wilson may come back to be as strong as he was in 2004. With the emergence of young arms like Harang and Claussen, do the Reds have a chance this year. We know their offense is good enough, but what about the pitching?
John Manuel: Bubba, I admire your optimism. So which of those pitchers would you want to start in a playoff series? If that's the top four, who's the ace? i don't see a No. 3, not to mention a No. 1. I guess Eric Milton gets No. 1 money but we realize how that turned out, and the Reds are the kind of team that can't afford massive mistakes like that one. I am not optimistic about the Reds near future, and the farm system is in the rebuilding stage as well. Sorry. Enjoy Chris Denorfia!

Now, he's probably right Harang isn't an ace in the normal sense, but I would think he's shown he's at least a number 3.
