When former Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Dan Haren was dealt to the Arizona Diamondbacks, one of the guys that Oakland got in return was starting pitcher Dana Eveland. Currently, the 24-year-old southpaw sports a 2-1 record with 18 strikeouts, 11 walks, a 1.90 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP in 23 2/3 innings. He has also limited opposing hitters to a paltry .202 average on the season. In addition, he sports a nice 2-0 record with a 1.42 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP inside the home confines of McAfee Coliseum. Many “experts” have their doubts about Eveland’s stuff, his demeanor and his overall talent. But I have learned to never doubt the mind of Oakland general manger Billy Beane. Right now, Eveland is a great option in American League-only formats and a low-risk flier in deep mixed leagues. He has the arm and potential to make you look very smart once the season comes to an end. Just watch his control, he can be terribly erratic.
