Looking at a snapshot of the past three seasons, in 2011, Haren's pre- and post-All-Star-break ERA and WHIP were 2.61/0.95 and 3.89/1.12. However, his skills were very similar, registering a 5.8 K/BB before and a 5.9 K/BB after, though his strikeout rate dropped a little but was balanced by a drop in walks the second half. The discrepancy in his ERA was the result of nearly doubling his HR/9 from 0.54 to 1.04 and a moderate spike in BABIP from .265 to .290. If you subscribe to the theory that there are some chance elements with BABIP and HR/FB, Haren's post-All-Star break 2011 scuffles were at least in part due to misfortune. Jumping back to 2009, the story is similar but more extreme with an ERA/WHIP split of 2.01/0.81 and 4.62/1.26. His K rate was similar in both halves, but his BB/9 rose from 1.1 to 2.0, which is still well below league average. The HR/9 jumped from 0.8 to 1.4 but the BABIP ballooned from .233 to .315. However, in 2010, there was a reversal of fortune. Pre- and post-break ERA and WHIP were 4.36/1.33 and 3.34/1.20. His skills still decreased a bit after the break, but his BABIP was .339 early and .265 late. The moral of the story is draft Haren for his full-season stats, which by October will be pretty darned good.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":3.9,"playerRater15DAY":4.9,"positionRank":50}
