| News: Hafner, who has already started his offseason hitting program, expects to be fully healthy for 2010, the team's official site reports. |
| Analysis: Hafner wasn't able to begin his offseason training program until mid-January last year as a result of shoulder surgery. "The way it was feeling in Spring Training, with the program I was on, I thought a couple months into the season I'd be able to play every day. But in talking to a lot of different people who have had shoulder problems, it takes a year for it to heal up. It's something I just had to manage throughout the year. It wasn't a great scenario, but I was able to play three out of four games", Hanfer said regarding his season last year. |
