Harang will probably slot in behind both Cole Hamels and Cliff Lee in Philadelphia's rotation next season. However, he may be dealt for prospects at the trade deadline.
Harang had a nice bounce back season with the Atlanta Braves in 2014. He went 12-12 with a 3.57 ERA. He passed the 200 innings pitched milestone and was able to start 33 games on the mound. Even with his age, Harang has been reliable in the past. The righty has bounced around from the Cincinnati Reds, Oakland Athletics, New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners, Braves and now he is with the Phillies for the 2015 season. With 13-years on his resume, he may plan to retire in the near future.
