Haren to make Angels debut Monday
Baseball Betting Lines
07/26/2010 -
Anaheim, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dan Haren will make his Angels debut Monday
night, one day after being acquired in a blockbuster trade from the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Haren will take the hill for the Halos in the series opener at Angel Stadium
against the Boston Red Sox and Clay Buchholz.
The Angels picked up Haren on Sunday afternoon for starting pitcher Joe
Saunders, reliever Rafael Rodriguez, minor league pitcher Patrick Corbin and a
player to be named later.
Haren, a California native, was one of the few high-profile arms still
available prior to the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, and several teams
were vying for his services.
The 29-year-old right-hander has struggled this season, however, pitching to a
4.60 earned run average in 21 starts, his worst ERA since his 2003 rookie
campaign. His strikeouts are still up, having fanned 141 in as many innings
against only 29 walks.
His 7-8 record puts Haren at 86-70 in 217 games -- 208 starts -- for his
career, which includes stints in St. Louis (2003-04), Oakland (2005-07)
and Arizona (2008-10). The Diamondbacks acquired Haren in an eight-player
trade prior to the 2008 season.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson
JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
