Hafner certainly needs a break from baseball. Maybe his sore shoulder is why he's been struggling so much, maybe it's not. But he has not been helping the Indians offense at all lately and maybe the best thing for him now is to take some time off, recover, play some minor league games and get his confidence back. This may be a good thing for the Indians. On the other side of things, Shin-Soo Choo takes his place on the roster after playing some rehab games at Buffalo. Choo had a stellar 2006 season and was looking good last year until he got hurt. I'm hoping he gets plenty of playing time and gets a chance to cement his place in the lineup. The only thing is that he's an outfielder, and the Indians already are quite abundant on outfields. Grady plays every day, Ben's been their best player the last month and Gut and Dellucci have been playing decent as of late. But the DH spot is now open, so one of them could play there, but that will most likely go to Victor, Garks or Aubrey. So we'll see how this plays out, and I am happy to have Choo back, this could be the boost that we need.

Hafner to DL. Choo off DL
