Cleveland In The Haren Sweepstakes?
In mentioning the possible Dan Haren trade, Buster Olney mentions the Indians as a sleeper pick. They haven't really been mentioned in relation to the 27-year-old righty, as talks have been dominated by the Diamondbacks. The Yankees and the Dodgers are the other teams Olney mentions as interested.
This would make Cleveland's rotation for 2008:
1. C.C. Sabathia
2. Dan Haren
3. Fausto Carmona
4. Jake Westbrook
5. Paul Byrd
Mentioned as A's bait are Jeremy Sowers, Aaron Laffey, and, of course, Adam Miller. It's unlikely that they'd be interested in players like Andy Marte and Josh Barfield, since a trade of Haren would signify the A's beginning to rebuild. They'd likely want players with little to no service time. They could, in addition, trade Joe Blanton and Huston Street as part of this process.

I think that Cleveland will certainly try to do something to stop Detroit from running away with this one.

Knowing Beane, hell ask for Miller, Peralta, Frankiln Gutierrez/Laffey

Cleveland should acquire Hideki Matsui for a reliever (Betancourt or Perez would be a great return for NYY) and then swap Sowers+others for Haren, as long as one of Laffey/Miller stays. That would make them a much better club. Their offense would be chin-to-chin with Detroit and I think they would have better starting pitching. One thing, though, is that Detroit's bullpen is going to suck and Cleveland is strong until the 9th.
