 The “Core” Corps
The “Core” Corps
The news that Hafner has signed a 4-year, $57M extension means that another one of the “core” players has been locked up for the long term.

 Offense continues to struggle
Offense continues to struggle
The Indians continue to struggle with the offense, and in the standings. They lose their third straight game, and four of five. Magically, they are still only 1 game behind division leading Detroit, which continues to nearly mirror the Indians' results. We can't continue to count on the other team losing, however, because the Tigers are too good to continue this.

Aaron Laffey’s In Good Company
Though 0-2, it looks like I’m not alone in loving what Aaron Laffey has been able to do through his two starts this season as Aaron Gleeman is right on board. In fact, Gleeman calls Laffey one his favorite sleepers over the past few years - and the kid is showing us why.

Finally, Off The Schneid. For Now.
Indians 5, Rangers 2 (box) Why does it seem like the one time we finally have some good news to write about (a win), it has to be served with a side-dish of injury news that will be a huge hit to our currently-strong pitching staff?
