<div><div><b>ITEM</b></div><div>From <a href="http://mlb.com" target="_blank">mlb.com</a>:</div><div>The Lonnie Chisenhall era appears to be officially under way.
Hannahan, who earned $1.135 million last season, batted .244 with four homers
and 29 RBIs in 105 contests in 2012. Over the season's first 30 games, the third
baseman hit .287 with three homers. A lower back issue forced him out of the
lineup on May 13 for nearly two weeks, and Hannahan hit just .180 with one homer
across his next 59 affairs. Chisenhall batted .268 with five homers in 43
contests for the Indians last season. He made a swift recovery from a broken
right forearm -- suffered in late June when struck by a fastball from Orioles
reliever Troy Patton -- to provide the club with a glimpse of its future in
September.</div><div><br></div><div><b>LOSER</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>Lake Michigan Calamari. Jumpin' Jack Hannahan's loss of starting gig leaves LMC with an even feebler CI squad, forcing floundering fish to take flyer on Mike Nagging Injury Napoli.</div>
