Hafner, 30, was eligible for free agency after
the 2008 season. His new deal does not include
a signing bonus, but part of the money will be redirected to increase his salaries in 2007 and '08, according to a source with knowledge of the contract. The ...
Indians GM Mark Shapiro is both a realist
and an executive who is willing to act quickly.
And his club has played so poorly and has so many key injuries (Jake Westbrook, Fausto Carmona, Travis Hafner, Victor Martinez) that he is leaning more toward...
CLEVELAND -- Over the last few seasons, right-hander
Jake Westbrook has emerged as one of the Indians'
most consistent pitchers. Now, his address will remain consistent, too. The Indians will hold a press conference this afternoon to announce the ...
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. Going into the season, the Tribe faced the prospect of losing Jake Westbrook after this season and Hafner and C.C. after next season to Free Agency. Westbrook, obviously, has been taken care of, and now, with Hafner in the mix (the C.C. discussion will be touc
Jake Westbrook has made a career out of
being consistent. He’s so dependable in fact, that at
times he can be an afterthought to the other Tribe starters. In 2004, Westbrook won 14 games in 215 innings, with 116 K’s and 61 walks. In 2005, Westbrook won 15 games in 211 innings, with 119 K’s and 56 walks. In 2006, Westbrook won 15 games in 211 innings, with 109 K’s and 55 walks. The consistency...

Detroit _ Jake Westbrook needs ulnar collateral ligament
surgery _ commonly known as Tommy John surgery _

I know, I know. It’s been awhile since
my prose has graced this site — well, my
prose has never actually graced the site, but it’s been on the site before. It’s been about a week since I posted last, but it feels like a ...
Jake Westbrook, Fausto Carmona, Victor Martinez, Travis Hafner,
Josh Barfield, Michael Aubrey. All of them are currently
on the DL for the Indians. It seems they won’t be getting Carmona and Hafner back anytime soon. Reports from the Indians might as well be coming from the Cleveland Clinic these days. The latest from the Tribe is...
Negotiations between the Indians and Travis Hafner have
ceased and aren't expected to resume until the end

Summary: Jon Lester's return from cancer couldn't have
gone much better as he pitched six strong innings
to lead the Red Sox past the Indians. Hero: Lester allowed five hits and two runs while walking three and striking out six in his first major ...
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.
"And business is good."
Hafner’s homer, Jake’s pitching good enough for Tribe
win. First, let’s recognize a streak that came to
an end. The Angels had not lost a game in which they led after 8 innings in 163 games. That’s a full season’s worth ...
As much as I’d like to blame the
weather for the recent play of the Indians, the
fact that they have not been playing well in Oakland as well as Anaheim leads me to believe that there’s a bit more to the story than some rain and a few wind gusts. In his first appearance...
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.
Indians 5, Rangers 2 (box) Why does it

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?
What's worse, the Tribe offense, or the bullpen?
And is there any shot at them both clicking
at the same time?
