Its been sort of mentioned in the past few days but I think they need a new hitting coach.

how could such a shitty player be loved by such a large section of the fanbase? i love that he did great things for the community, but that has nothing to do with his on-field performance.

Sme people just don't get it, bro. Hell, it took a long time for the Tigers to finally realize they were sick of Inge's garbage play.

This bum (Inge) will be forgotten before we know it. Thank Christmas!!!

"What I have had, 20 at-bats?" Inge said today. "I showed power. But average and consistency isn’t going to be there unless I’m in there every day. I wish I could have gotten about two weeks where I had been there every day for every inning -- see what you can do.”

This is why he had to go.... He always meant well but damn, get a clue.

Apparently Inge will have more than one team to choose from.......who knew.

For him I bet he hopes to go to Baltimore. Though eventually I see them as a 4th place team, they're loads better than other two.

My guess is he'll go to a NL team, where utility players have more value.

Of course, knowing the Ego of Inge, he'll insist on an AL club so he can try to get a starting spot, rather than a bench role.

 

[spockmaster]

A's to sign Inge, those poor bastards.

[biggunsbob]

So do we still have to pay for him????

 

[spockmaster]

yep.

 

[kalinecountry]

Cringe is a career .144 hitter in Oakland.
He has two home runs in 125 at bats at the McAfee Coliseum.

 

[byco42]

Of course. He's under contract.

 

[Thumb]

Of course. He's under contract.

Minus the pro-rated league minimum for the remainder of the season.

 

[tigermud]

So if he happens to get any hits off us or makes a good play when we play OAK, we paid for that. that's going to be depressing.

Brandon Inge to play for A's tonight; says he was close to asking for release anyway.
from the freep

?To be honest, in a couple days, I was probably going to go in there and ask them if I could weigh my options and try to get out of there and find a better team that would better suit me for my career,? he said. ?This is the strongest I?ve been -- which is kind of crazy. ? So I?m excited about the strength and power that?s there. Now it?s a matter of when I get the at-bats so I?ll be able to really see what I can do.?
signed Inge.

unf'nbelieveable

 

[spockmaster]

he's fuckin delusional.

 

[Thumb]

I call bullshit.

Wouldn't he have had to ask to void the remainder of his contract to be released as a FA?

Just give up something like 5.1 million?
