Pronk hasn't been worth a damn since 2008 thanks to injury after injury. It's a real shame since he was such a intimidating hitter!! He finished in the top 10 in MVP voting twice before '08 but hasn't played in more than 118 games since. Seems like the Indians have had a real problem keeping their stars healthy lately with Sizemore being the other. Hopefully this isn't the end of the road for him because he still possesses a good eye at the plate.Travis Hafner (back) might be done for the season.
Hafner was placed on the DL Thursday with lower back stiffness and required an MRI, the results of which are not yet known. With the Indians holding a $13 million option for 2013 that they won't exercise, it's possible Pronk's career with the club is over. If that's the case, he at least went out with a bang in his final at-bat, homering in the 10th inning Sunday to give him 200 longballs for his career.
