Date	Question	Answer
2016-08-11 14:00:00 (link to chat)	Hey Jim, first time long time. With Aaron Harang out of The Show for what seems like for good, what do you think his lasting legacy is? I certainly miss the big fella. (Kyle from Milwaukee)	The soul patch thing he sported throughout his career and the omnipresent, subtle look of profound sadness in his eyes. (J.P. Breen)
2015-06-25 13:00:00 (link to chat)	You are the president of baseball ops and have 5m to spend. Where do you see the biggest bang for your buck? Pay all your minor league players a living wage so they can eat real food, sign Aaron Harang, buy a few Crays, or have a bobblehead night for your radio only announcer? For the life of me I can't figure out why the relative paltry sum isn't invested in minor league pay to help them focus on baseball instead of, you know, surviving. (brentdaily from colorado)	I'd invest in tracking systems (installed and portable), nutrition (MiLB and MLB) and I could use a new flat screen TV, too. (Harry Pavlidis)
2015-06-02 18:00:00 (link to chat)	Reading about MiLB players and some of the odd jobs they take in the off-season it struck me that there is an incredible risk of injury in most (e.g. construction). Given the game is awash in money why is it that teams aren't throwing an extra $25k per player (on average) in the minors in order to allow them to eat better, work out, and not operate heavy machinery? In the end it's an extra $5M that would go much further than signing Aaron Harang. What am I missing?

2014-05-15 20:00:00 (link to chat)	How much more of a leash does Aaron Harang have? What would you do with Harang in a 10-team dynasty League? (Dave from Canada)	Don't keep Aaron Harang on a leash. People will stare. (Bret Sayre)
2014-04-22 20:00:00 (link to chat)	Help! My AL-only team has six players on the DL (Parker, Fister, Willingham, Profar, Izturis, and Pryor), two others nursing hammys (Hardy, Eaton), and a reliever sent down to AAA (Feliz). I can't convince anyone to part with an extra infielder for picks, so I'm stuck relying on the supplemental draft this week. Two picks. I plan on taking an IF and pitcher. Is Yangervis Solarte for real? Should I take him? The alternatives are Roberts, Goins, Flaherty, Sogard, and Wilson. How about Betances? Or should I go for a more stolid Colby Lewis, Aaron Harang or Chris Capuano? (touchstoneQu from Erie, PA)	The best part about Scoresheet is that you don't have to answer the question of whether Yangervis Solarte is for real. When looking for playing time, your more pressing concern is whether the Yankees think he's for real, and that's likely been answered in the affirmative. We discussed this in the pod, but Solarte should be good for a little pop and some flexibility at both second and third. Sogard would be next, but maybe we just want to overturn that #FaceofMLB fiasco. As for pitchers, stolidness rules the day. We lean towards Lewis or the surprisingly resilient Harang. Betances is enticing, but if you're in the hunt, you can probably get top shelf relief from a non-contender later in the season. (Scoresheet Chat with Ben, Jared, and Ian)

2010-04-05 09:30:00	Season Opener Roundtable	Happy Opening Day. I got onto MLB.tv just in time to see Albert Pujols launch a solo homer off Aaron Harang in Cincy. If that doesn't say BASEBALL IS HERE I don't know what will. (Jay Jaffe)
2009-06-09 14:30:00	2009 Draft Coverage	"Jason (DC): Assuming he gets healthy, how does Gibson compare to Aaron Harang?" Completely different type of body, is what jumps out to me. Gibson is tall and skinny, and very projectable. Harang is well ... not skinny. I would think Gibson's slider should be better, and Gibson should be a bit less of a flyball pitcher. I gotta think there's a better comparison available. (Bryan Smith)
