reasons i want dan haren

Dan Haren's a good fantasy baseball player. I don't mind grabbing him for my keeper league, but I thought I should make sure I've made the case properly. Six of my fantasy pitchers come from just two teams, so if nothing else it would help to spread my risk.

Why I am pretty sure Dan Haren is worth adding off waivers:

He's not a Tigers starter.
He's also not a Blue Jays reliever.
I'm desperate for a reason not to keep Fausto Carmona for $3.
Now I can worry about an elite pitcher other than Cliff Lee, who's not even on my team.
Any time you can add a pitcher with a .350 babip, you do it.
It's like picking a pitcher off the dollar menu.
A pitcher who's striking out a guy an inning.
Unlike Derrick Lee, he actually wants to play for the Angels.
Maybe now I can forgive myself for not grabbing a $3 Carlos Santana when he cleared waivers in April.
At the end of the year, no one remembers who finished with the best waiver priority.

not in miami

i just realized i'm doing something lebron james could probably never do again in his life - i'm wearing cleveland cavaliers shorts and a sport coat.
