"Cutting Hafner would probably be the single most stupid thing the Tribe could do right now. I'll certainly agree that .270 is nothing to write home about, but it's second or third on the team, meaning that cutting him would reduce your already poor firepower. More importantly, when you cut him, you still owe him the money, so you don't save yourself a dime to put someplace else. Hafner is never going to earn the big bucks he is getting, but cutting him is just stupid and emotion driven." - WSorBust
