The greatest clamor from Cleveland Indians fans for the last six or seven years is the desperate desire for a “legitimate middle of the order hitter”. I’m not really quoting anyone in particular there, but that idea is what, it is felt in the Wigwam, will push the team to the next level. They haven’t had that sort of player since Travis Hafner had two of the best years in a Tribe uniform, hitting .306/.423/.626 combined in 2005 and ‘06. He tailed off in ‘07 to an .837 OPS but was still a threat, but slowly declined, ending up being a waste of the biggest contract in Indians history.
