Indians face Central-heavy stretch after break in second half
The Indians open the final two months with three series against Kansas City and Chicago, playing 45 of 74 games versus division rivals. Westbrook says the Central battles will be nonstop, with Detroit Minnesota and Chicago all contenders. He notes the offense underperformed in the first half though third in runs, and expects a stronger second half with a solid bullpen and improved starting staff. Westbrook faces Kansas City as Sabathia Carmona Meche De La Rosa are listed for upcoming games.

Indians lock Hafner long term as Sabathia target looms
Hafner agreed to a two year increase with an $11 million salary in 2009 and $13 million in 2010, plus a 2013 option. He has driven in over 100 runs while hitting over .300 the past three years. Sabathia remains a coveted, high priced target as Cleveland bets on keeping core stars through multi year deals.
