Even though Indians are without Hafner and Sizemore, they still have enoeugh offense to score runs. Crabera is 29/88 (330 avg), 6 doubles, triple, 7 walks, 5 hr, 21 RBi, 4 sb in only 22 home games. Brantley is 26/74 (351 avg), 4 doubles, 7 walks, 3 hr, 13 rbi, 15 runs, 4 sb in only 20 home games. Choo is 21/81 (250 avg), 3 doubles, triple, 10 walks, 5 hr, 14 rbi, 12 runs in only 22 home games.
Indians catcher is 14/69 (203 avg), 15 walks, 5 hr, 12 rbi, 8 runs in only 20 home games.
