This means absolutely nothing.

right...they have to put the guys they have on the roster someplace. That said....looking at it tells me they don't have a LF

Maybe we can coax Brandon Inge out of retirement and make him our everyday LFer.

Or Bobby Higginson!

Higginson is 45. Inge is 7 years younger. Either way, they both could probably play better in LF than Gose, Maybin or even Aviles.

Turok, they were one of the worst teams in baseball last year. Not sure how much more of a cluster it could be. At least there is going to be some new blood in the system. You never know how players will respond in a new situation.

Yeah, it's rare for me to be optimistic, but we don't know how these pieces will fit.

That's optimistic? Lol.

Funny how Inge and Casey were the only decent offense that the Tigers team put up in the '06 WS, ya just never know who will crap the bed or shine when it is for all of the marbles.

Ian Desmond could have been had for 8 Million!? And Texas thinks he can play center as well as left.
