Laffey was drafted out of high school by the Cleveland Indians in the 16th round (468th overall) of the 2003 Major League Baseball draft. [1] [2] He had committed to play college baseball at Virginia Tech, but signed with the Indians on July 1, 2003. [3] He was assigned to begin his professional career with the Rookie-level Burlington Indians, and went 3–1 in nine games (four starts) while striking out 46 in 34 innings pitched. [4] In 2004, while with the Single-A Mahoning Valley Scrappers, Laffey went 3–1 with a 1.24 ERA in eight starts, which earned him a promotion to the Single-A Lake County Captains. With the Captains, he was 3–7 with a 6.53 ERA in 19 games (15 starts). [4] Laffey started the 2005 season with Lake County and went 7–7 with a 3.22 ERA in 25 games (23 starts). He was later called up to the Double-A Akron Aeros for one game in which he picked up the victory by going five innings and allowing two runs while striking out six. [4] Laffey started the 2006 season with the Single-A Advanced Kinston Indians, where he posted a 4–1 record with a 2.18 ERA in 10 games (four starts).

On August 4, 2007, Laffey made his major league debut against the Minnesota Twins; he went 5+1⁄3 innings while allowing six hits, three runs, a walk, and three strikeouts in a losing effort. [6] In his second start on August 9, against the Chicago White Sox, Laffey picked up his first MLB victory. He went 5+2⁄3 innings, allowed six hits, four runs, three walks, and struck out four in the Indians' 7–5 victory. [7] [8] On August 10, a day after Laffey's first MLB victory, he was demoted to Triple-A Buffalo. [9] On August 25, Laffey was recalled to pitch against the Kansas City Royals. [10] Laffey won again, going six innings and allowing eight hits, two runs, and one walk while striking out four. [11] He made nine total starts with Cleveland in 2007, going 4–2 with a 4.56 ERA.
