Why do people try so hard to squeeze this turd into a position? He is a club house distraction, can't hit, has no power, and his defense has fallen off so much it's not funny. Magllio was ten times the tiger this guy was and people couldn't see him off fast enough.

Looking back at his batting and fielding stats over his career, he was a serviceable player for the tigers from 2004 to 2010, never really more than serviceable. The fact that he is/was scrappy, perceived as good in the community/locker room, and is white are why he was a local star. He was a good fielder, but never won a gold glove. He used to have a decent but below average on base percentage, but no longer does. He has over a 100 more strikouts than hits for his career. He no longer is viewed as a good club house guy. Leaving out all that other local hero crap, what about that description makes anyone want him to win an every day starter spot, or at his age even a backup role?

Curtis Granderson was beloved by Tigers fans and he's not white. He was scrappy. He is perceived as good in the community and locker room. He is a good fielder, but never won a gold glove. He used to have a decent but below average OBP. He has close to as many strikeouts as hits for his career.

not sure if this article was written by an actual sports writer or Inge's PR firm:
"Not every major leaguer worked harder than 90% of his peers, by his trainer's estimation, during the off-season.
Not every major leaguer gained 18 pounds of muscle, while getting leaner.
Not every major leaguer had thick enough skin or a mind focused enough to see that he could control only what he did, how hard he worked.
Brandon Inge did."

Figgins has a $9M contract for '12 and $8M contract for '13 option year is '14
Dunn's contract runs through 2014 and he's scheduled to get $14M this season and $15M for the next 2 seasons
The Tigers on on the hook for Inge's $5.5M this season and have a $500K opt out
So Inge stays since he's going to get paid anyway and he's just an expensive insurance policy for '12.
The Tigers still have VMart contracted through 2014 when he's 35 and he's on the books for $13M this year, $13M for '13 and $12M for 2014.

Inge can 'stay' in Toledo and be helpful to young prospects on their way up. He doesn't need to 'stay' in Detroit because we owe him $$$. He can be a farmhand 'player/coach since he's so popular.

Pretty decent. I'm not an Inge dude really, but to act like he's just been a ho-hum player is not really fair. He's had a solid career for the most part.
