The reason I said 4 years for Harang is that he has a great frame, a great delivery, and would be 27-31 years old for the duration of the contract. If a pitcher is worth 4 or 5 years it would be this type of pitcher. However, I totally understand your unwillingness to go past 3 years with a pitcher.
How much longer do the Reds own his rights? Unless the Reds can sign him for a fair price I say keep doing the one year thing until he is in the last year before free agency then we try to sign him longterm if he is still pitching well.
When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.
/\ Problem with that is he'll be much more expensive.
Go Gators!
