I said it Wednesday, Travis Hafner is not playing up to the standards of what he is being paid. It was almost like he read my post and took a little offense on Thursday in the game against the Mariners (pardon the pun). Hafner went 2-4 with a walk and two extra base hits and the Indians won. I believe that this is no coincidence, and that the Indians feed off of Travis Hafner and are much stronger when he is in playing to his potential. I have to give credit to Eric Wedge for giving Hafner a break and then putting him into a less stressful spot in the batting order. It really paid off and the Indians may roll with this.
