im both scared and scarred.

Now the tigers have one less anemic-hitting second baseman

 

[tigersofjustice]

It wouldn't surprise me to see a NL team pick him up for league minimum. He can still be a capable glove man off the bench for somebody. Lets not forget that Adam Everett had a job for many years in this league. In fact, the Tigers employed him when he might have had the worst everyday bat in the majors.

 

[Mitchrapp]

They can have him. Bat him 8 in front of the pitcher. The NL will learn to not throw anything close and he'll get himself out..

He's going to get picked up for sure.

Because any other team only pays him peanuts, whether or not he can stay on a team, may be another story.

Amazing that Inge would accept a role as role player for another team but not as a Tiger.

I don't think he had a choice.

For me this is the second best news I got today.

For our Tigers, I hope that it helps the team....You just don't know what is really said or thought by the players in the clubhouse. They hear the interviews from cringe and read some of the stuff he has said, about how he is being pitched to like babe Ruth, doesn't care that he strikes out, gets good swings on the ball, flick the wrist.....It's finally over.

I mean this will help the team. Whoever replaces him will surely be a better hitter. That said, the guy was a utility player at this point, so how many at bats are we really improving? 100-200? That's good but I'm not expecting any drastic changes.

What was the first?


Good news about your mother I hope?

I think it will help the Tigers most of all, because it's 1 less HUGE distraction.

The Inge Saga comes to an end, and we can stop focusing on it. (after the obligatory weeks worth of celebration mind you...)

Leyland said Eldred will DH (no surprise, really).

 

[byco42]

I don't think he had a choice.

Which makes me wonder if he'll complain about not playing every day for the Cubs, Astros or whatever bottom-feeding NL team takes a flyer on him.

Yes...They removed that breathing machine and she was able to do on her own. Still in ICU but it is an improvement. thanks pal.

That was a good interview. Inge actually didn't seem like a jerk and kind of seemed a little bummed..

 

[johnny2x2x]

Well, it was long overdue. Goodbye Inge. No hard feelings, n ot going to dance on his grave, he was a decent player for a few years, but just didn't have it for the last few years. He did not belong in the majors any more.

 

[johnny2x2x]

There is no emotion on this team right now... Team chemistry seems strange with this group....

I've been wondering if they are missing Victor's presence in the clubhouse. That guy brings more to the team than his bat.

Yeah I think you are right... Victor had a presence to him plus he could work a pitcher...
