Plus, he has had injury problems and knowing him he would get hurt making a routine play. It is a possibility, but Hafner is just a terrible defensive player.

They are getting a ton of negative publicity nationally because of their recent slump. A win on national television would maintain at least a share of the lead in the Central, while also showing their abilities to a national audience.  This game is also a very important one for Fausto Carmona. He has had a forgettable year so far, but Manny Acta insists that he has good stuff, and that he just needs to be given time. I agree with Acta that he has great stuff, as he has shown it in the past, but he must find it soon.  Carmona is 4-9 on the year with an ERA of 5.98. These are unacceptable numbers for any pitcher in the MLB, especially one who was supposed to be the ace of the staff. No one is currently asking Carmona to pitch like an ace, but he must start pitching like he belongs in the rotation.” [Steve Kubitza/Deep Left Field] [...] [...] Big game tonight: “Tonight’s game is on ESPN, and the Indians need to win.

Wouldn't any errors he made be made up for by the dingers he seems to hit almost nightly? Especially after your Skip came out and said Hafner was so locked in at the plate during your last homestand. I just don't see how he can be that bad and not be a better option than Hannahan or whoever they start. Plus getting him 1B eligibility would really help my fantasy team, and they could always do the late inning defensive replacement switch if they have a lead. You've got pull get Acta on the phone and make it happen!
