Brandon Inge's destiny is down to final out.
from the detnews
Cringe : "I love to play baseball and I'm not finished yet," Inge said Tuesday. "Not even close to finished.
"I'm not worried about it. I'm not letting it get to me. I'm gonna play baseball for a long time."
"I don't care what my average is, my swing is kind of right where I want it to be," he said after he had three at-bats Tuesday ? a hard single up the middle, a ground-out to shortstop, and a walk.
"As opposed to last year, when my timing was perfect but I couldn't hit the ball out, my strength is there. I've hit a lot better than my average. I've hit a lot of balls hard and right at somebody."
Inge believes another comeback is in the cards. If not, there will be no return to the minors.
"I doubt it," he said. "I did that once. I try not to be one-sided about things. I felt like I owed that to them (Tigers) last year. We've had a great relationship. And I'm sure this is tough for them, too. They can't determine anything off of spring training, and yet they're gonna have to.
"But one thing I've made clear is that I don't make decisions off one bad year. I'm kind of tired of selling myself short. And I know I'm a lot better hitter than other guys out there."
