Re: Padres close to signing Harang
Good for Aaron! Hope he turns it around. He certainly left some good memories behind here.

Re: Padres close to signing Harang
Pretty much the best case scenario for the big guy. Good luck Aaron!

Re: Padres close to signing Harang
I wonder if he'll pitch against us in relief when we go there for our annual 20 inning game

Re: Padres close to signing Harang
I hope he does well too out there, except when they play the Reds. He deserves to close out his career on a high note and especially where he lives.

Re: Padres close to signing Harang
I'm kind of glad to see this, but kind of depressed by it, as well. Harang was one of my favorite Reds, and it is a bit sad to see him go...but, unfortunately, there was no room for the guy on the staff.

Re: Padres close to signing Harang
I always said Harang would have been an absolute stud in a big park like San Diego. He obviously doesn't have the stuff he had a few years ago, but I think he could still put together some solid years out there. Good luck to the big man

Re: Padres close to signing Harang
Harang was a great Red. He always gave it everything he had, and had some really good years on some really bad teams.
I hope he can find success in San Diego, his home. I'd hate to see such a good guy go out on a sour note.

Re: Padres close to signing Harang
VERY relieved if he doesn't go to the Cardinals. I envisioned that since last summer and it made me sick to my stomach. Especially when he wins Comeback Player of the Year.

Re: Padres close to signing Harang
One of the more predictable moves of the off season. I wish him well and I think SD is a place made for him. If he can't be successful there then he really is through

Re: Padres close to signing Harang
Without looking at any numbers at all, is he a Reds Hall of Famer?
