Nope just a solid regression.

If the Reds resign Dunn and Harang, who cares what happens to Griffey,Arroyo and Milton(lol).

The way this roster is headed...I'd rather them dangle Harang for a boatload of prospects at the deadline if/when they are out of it. If you can't afford decent starters to back him up then what's the point?

Arroyo first -- his contract is up sooner, and he's definitely bound for free agency.

I'd negotiate with Harang for as long as possible.

Oh, Arroyo definitely. Maybe even now. We're due to hear the thud of him coming back to Earth in about May.

I think Harang is a stud, so no one get me wrong. it's just that he can't do it by himself. So giving him $35 million to be in 4th place is kind of a waste.

3 years, $26M (7.5, 9, 9.5)

6 years at 60 million with a 4 million buyout clause on the 5th year and a 2 million buyout on the 6th year.

You might be in the ballpark on the dollar amount per season.

• Woody Williams, 2 years, 12.5 million - 6.25 mil
  Randy Wolf, 1 year, 8 million
  Adam Eaton, 3 years, 24.5 million - 8.16 mil
  Ted Lilly, Chicago Cubs, four years, $40 million - 10 mil
  Gil Meche, Kansas City Royals, five years, $55 million - 11 mil
  Vincent Padilla, 3 years, 33,750,000 - 11.25
  Mussina, 2 years, 23 million - 11.5 mil

What pitchers would their agents think they are comparable to?

Current per espn:
Kyle Lohse 3,950,000
Bronson Arroyo 3,000,000
Aaron Harang 2,350,000

You think he would sign for less per year than Meche?

From today's Enquirer.

Krivsky said the Reds and Harang haven't had any discussions about a long-term contract recently.

"But that's something we'll probably get to later this winter," Krivsky said.

Yeah, Wayne. Put it off and focus on what's really important -- getting Bubba Crosby and Chad Moeller.

Critical pieces of the puzzle...
