It's time for some serious debate. I have Travis Hafner sitting in the middle of my line-up supposed to be the big man for this group. When actually my middle of the line-up is hurting with Victor Martinez just now creeping into .300 range, Hafner is hitting at a low .282 and Ryan Garko is stuck at the .200 range as well. Worst of all Grady Sizemore is easily in this group a .200 even.
I need the long ball, Choo, DeRosa, Peralta, Fransisco, Cabrera are beasting compared to these dudes and without that home run threat I'm thinking that my team is going to suffer in the long run, especially since guys in the second batch of players mentioned are not home-run threats.
I'm debating moving Hafner/Martinez. I know some would say that's suicide for the Indians but if you look at the depth chart, Kelly Shoppach is a decent catcher, there is also a young prospect in the minors (can't recall his name right now and my game isn't in front of me) that could easily come up to play behind Shoppach. And Hafner is a DH. Sizemore/Garko get the nod to stay because of their defensive talent. Suggestions welcomed. This is a move in late-may, early june if it does go down I want to start shopping now. If you think that this is unrealistic pull the plug.
