Sat Jun 16 2012 | 15:28 | Hannahan to play every other day initially |

This may explain why Lonnie Chisenhall hasn't been optioned to the minors. Hannahan was activated from the disabled list Friday, but that's hardly an indicator of where he is physically. He figures to resume his starting role full-time when healthy. |

Jack Hannahan continued his torrid hitting against the Royals on Tuesday, driving home two runs in the Indians' 4-3 win. |

While he's bound to cool off at some point soon, the veteran infielder is playable as a third baseman or corner infielder in deeper leagues while he's raking. |

Sat Apr 21 2012 | 01:39 | Jack Hannahan knocks in three more |
Jack Hannahan had a two-run double and a sac fly Friday as the Indians edged the A's 4-3. |
The bottom half of the Indians lineup has created more scoring opportunities than the top so far and Hannahan has taken advantage, collecting 11 RBI in 10 games while hitting eighth and ninth. Just realize he's not going to remain nearly this productive, and anyone thinking of picking him up in a mixed league should pass. |
