I love to watch you play, whatever position you are in. I want to thank you for just being you. My daughter was in the childrens hospital and you came in to visit the kids and she was one you stopped to see. She couldnt see you at the time, she lost her eyesight before her brain surgery, but she new you were there. I am very thankful to you for taking the time that you do to be more that just a "player of the game". You truly love what you do. My son wants to be like you.....at 10 he played in the winter nationals in Florida...so I guess he is on his way. Again, thank you for all you do ! My family wil be watching you for many many years to come. Kathie Brandon,

I've been absolutely puzzled about your hitting issue..and wondered if you've ever considered trying to switch hit. You've got the natural talent..and I wouldn't doubt it would benefit you in a very short time. It would turn the right hander breaking low and away curve from an agony to an asset. It would be right in your power zone. I had the same problem..once again, not the player you were...but I started switch hitting about 20 years old..and it changed the game for me... Just a thought..

We believe we have solved the biomechanical issues that are causing this and it may be related to your opposite hip. It potentially can reoccur, and with greater frequency if the biomechanical puzzle isn't solved. So, I have an article I wrote about it and just need to get it to you. Contact me if you are interested. Thanks for the inspiration. Sherry McLaughlin President/Founder Michigan Institute for Human Performance www.mihp.net smclaughlin@mihp.net (586) 268-6942 Brandon,

John Carter is right--Detroit loves him. I'd like to see some stats on how many games we win when he's in--at ANY position--as opposed to losses when he's out. I'm betting there's a correlation. He's amazing in defense no matter where they stick him--he puts his heart into the game--and frankly, his fans' hearts would break if he opted to go elsewhere. Oh, and what's the big deal about Cabrera??? He's a lazy third baseman, and a mediocre first baseman, at best. Bring Casey back and send Cabrera packing until he grows up and learns how to be part of a team!

I have enjoyed watching you play in Detroit for several years now...(back to the days when there were no bodies in the stands) You always seemed to put your heart into each game no matter if it was game 10 or game 87 and the outcome mattered little to the overall standings for the Tigers. You are a great utility player and I have been to enough games to see you in almost every position on the field. I sincerily hope the Tigers administration takes the proper steps to ensure that you remain a Tiger for a long long time. The trip out to Comerica Park just would not be the same without you. You are a class act, and play your heart out every time I see you in the lineup. I hope you stay in Detroit...but if you must go...You will always have respect from the fans who remember you as "Our Tiger"! All the Best to you, good luck! Kate Inge Fan from Belle River Ontario Go Tigers! Brandon!

Although we travel our life's path with a plan, setting goals and then achieving them you have shown us all exactly what the proper response is to pitfalls we encounter in that path. Your attitude and positive public persona concerning the awkward position your currently have been placed in is truly inspiring. It would have been very easy to take a different position concerning all this but you have not. I know that i don't speak for the masses here but for me I will remain a Brandon Inge fan where every your path leads you. Hopefully it will remain with us but i guess that remains to be seen Brandon,

Here are seven very significant reasons why: 1. The other teams looking to upgrade at thirdbase are looking for someone younger than you. They are looking for someone to have a big impact in the future. Because your hitting wasn't so hot last year, in fact, it never was really great for a thirdbaseman, you are not what they are looking for. Sorry. Your fielding is great, but a great bat can have more impact. 2. Detroit is a contender and a championship is in their reach. It will be much more fun playing for them. 3. The fans here adore you. Don't toss away that love. 4. The Tigers need you to fill in for Cabrera in late innings. 5. They need you to play third when M-Cab or Sheffield (with Cabrera DHing) need a rest. Sheffield is old and needs lots of rest. If Cabrera can play first, then you can spell Guillen and Renteria, too. 6. They need you to play for Pudge when he needs a rest - at least, until Wilson is 100% which may not be for awhile. They are both old and they will likely need you to catch often. 7. You could be the regular catcher very soon. Rodriguez has already caught more games than any catcher before him. Brandon:
