Hafner and a week of NL games....

[bostongurlie]

Is he going to PLAY? Last time with interleague he was benched a lot, but now he's looking a little better. What's the story?

[Fireball Express]

Reports say that he has been taking grounders at 1B. So I expect him to be playing the interleague games.

[bostongurlie]

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I don't see the Indians sitting Broussard - he's been hitting the ball well (2HR and a .292 avg this week) and is a good defensive 1B.

Maybe Hafner will get one game in (hasn't played ny 1B this year) against a righty, but I'd actually expect him coming off the bench.

hm, any tribe fans out there with more info?at this point ive got iguchi on my bench but i really want to play him since he has 3 games at coors.

I've been trying to land berkman all week, no dice....... at least Broussard is FA, gotta add him

Did those reports say whether he was actually catching any of those grounders? His defensive inadequacies will ensure that he is a very poor play when there is no DH. I wouldn't risk playing him this week.

so hafner is so awful at 1b that he's not really a consideration by the indians to play in interleague?

[moochman]

Yes, the Injuns have Broussard(sp) at 1B who isn't a handicap at the plate and can field his position. Hafner will probably be used in pinch-hitting roles only during interleague play. IMO.

Ugh. I totally dropped the ball on this one. I forgot all about it and started him in my weekly league. Hopefully it works out for the best.
