Haren, 29, is putting up the best numbers of his career with the Diamondbacks this season (14-9, 2.90 ERA, leading the NL in K/BB ratio and WHIP) and has developed into one of the best starting pitchers in the National League.So hypothetically speaking, how much larger would Haren's contract with the Diamondbacks have been if he waited until this summer to negotiate a contract extension Instead of $44 million over four years, how much more could Haren have earned $20 million $30 million Or even moreWould $80 million over six years have been unrealisticMy guess is no. Not only would Haren have had more leverage in negotiations (FA after 2010), but he would be coming off the best season of his career at 29-years-old.Please leave your predictions/thoughts in the comments.Thoughts(Jorge Says No! on Facebook)(Follow Jorge Says No! on Twitter) This article is also featured on Jorge Says No!.

By Deepa Seetharaman Stocks Global Markets NEW YORK, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Investors are hoping swiftaction on an economic stimulus plan will boost Wall Streetnext week after its worst January ever. The nation's recovery hopes have been placed squarely onthe shoulders of lawmakers in Washington, where the U.S.Senate will begin a closely watched debate next week on the$887 billion economic stimulus bill, after the House ofRepresentatives passed its version without a single Republicanvote. "If they come up with a plan any kind of plan themarket will rally a little bit next week," said WarrenSimpson, managing director at Stephens Capital Management inLittle Rock, Arkansas. But Simpson cautioned that without a plan, stocks couldretest the November bear market lows Indeed, David Kostin,Goldman Sachs chief U.S.

equity strategist, said in a researchnote that the S&P 500 could challenge this low during thefirst quarter of 2009 "Everybody's nervous here," Simpson said. JANUARY JOBLESS RATE MAY SOAR After a cascade of job cuts this week, investors arebracing for the government's January employment reportexpected Friday and the ADP employment data due Wednesday. Forecasts for the January unemployment rate hover around7.5 percent, according to ThomsonReuters estimates. That wouldbe the highest monthly jobless rate since September 1992 andan increase from December's 7.2 percent, Economists expectthat U.S non-farm payrolls shrank by 524,000 in January.
