Dan Haren - SP - Arizona Diamondbacks
He's leaving one of the best pitchers' parks for one of the best hitters' parks and his last season was easily his best of his career. He's durable which is very good but to expect him to come close to what he did last season is a wasted expectation. He was incredible the first half of the season but trailed off in a huge way and batters actually hit .298 against him in the second half. When you combine the poor 2nd half with the move to a hitters' park, you have plenty of reasons to be concerned.
Predicted numbers: 14-10, 3.82 ERA, 181 Ks, 1.25 WHIP
