Will Brandon Inge Make the 25 Man Roster?
Should he and Will he are two different questions. Based on what I know of JL and his loyalty to veterans and unwillingness to change, I think Inge is a shoeo-in. Despite the fact that Dombrowski may be pushing the other way. But let’s see what we know: Turner, Strieby and Berry (and 3 others) were sent down … Continue reading Will Brandon Inge Make the 25 Man Roster?
Could Brandon Inge be poised for a breakout?
The often offensively challenged Brandon Inge started out the season homering in 3 straight games. While he has dropped off the 162 homer season pace he was on, there is some statistical evidence to suggest that Inge may be on his way to an improved offensive year.
Brandon Inge to theDL
The oblique problem isn’t going away for Brandon Inge and he is now on the DL. Dane Sardhina’s contract was purchased from Toledo and he’ll back-up Pudge Rodriguez. I’d guess that Sardhina wouldn’t be put into the rotating catcher situation that Inge was in. This will certainly limit some of Jim Leyland’s flexibility when it … Continue reading Brandon Inge to theDL
Brandon Inge might have been misquoted…
Yes. It’s another Brandon Inge story. Inge may yet be the Tigers back-up catcher when the season begins because it became clear today that Vance Wilson won’t be ready. And backpedaling from his Sunday statements that rose the ire of many (including your local blogger), Inge is amenable to catching.
The Brandon Inge Fan Club continues to grow
Pat Caputo has an interesting article about Brandon Inge today. According to the article, Brandon Inge once upon a time hit the ball hard. Then Phil Garner told him to change his swing. “Inge had this inside-out swing at the time. Scouts likened it, ironically, to Ivan Rodriguez’s batting stroke. That was only four years … Continue reading The Brandon Inge Fan Club continues to grow
Inge has his surgery
The Detroit Tigers announced third baseman Brandon Inge underwent surgery on Tuesday to address the chronic patellar tendinitis in both of his knees that plagued him throughout the 2009 season, a procedure performed by Dr. Stephen Lemos at the Detroit Medical Center.
Inge makes it
After long hours by many many Detroiters and Michiganders, Brandon Inge made his first All Star game. Yes there are flaws in the All Star game, and yes it is largely a popularity contest, ad yes in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter a whole lot, but to borrow a phrase from Jim … Continue reading Inge makes it
Vote Early, Vote Often, Vote Inge
The campaigning has been going on since April when teams started to promote their players for the All Star Game. On basic principle I try to wait until at least June before filling out a ballot. So much changes so quick early in the season and hot starts can be misleading. But, with 60 games … Continue reading Vote Early, Vote Often, Vote Inge
Position roulette, Inge and Guillen edition
I was hoping to have a chance to run some numbers, but until I do I figured it was worth posting that Inge will play third and Guillen left field next season. I won’t completely pass judgment until I can do the math on this, but for the moment I’m thinking this doesn’t actually help … Continue reading Position roulette, Inge and Guillen edition
Inge to catch more, Pudge to catch less
In today’s edition of what’s up Jimmy’s sleeve, we find an alternating catcher. The announcement came down today that Pudge isn’t the regular catcher any more. He and Brandon Inge will rotate behind the plate. Neither are really hitting worth a lick and at this point Inge is probably the better defensive catcher anyways. Plus … Continue reading Inge to catch more, Pudge to catch less
Fanning the Inge/Thames trade fires
While the players had a day off today, I’m sure that the front office was continuing to work the phones. News of another injury in Dodgertown may be a catalyst for a Brandon Inge trade while more Marcus Thames rumors swirl. I saw it first on Spot Starters that the Dodgers back up plan for … Continue reading Fanning the Inge/Thames trade fires
