Inge now wants to play second, Leyland hopeful

You've gotta hand it to Inge, the past 2 seasons he's found himself the odd-man out at his position and he has found a way to stick with the team. Moving from Catcher to 3rd, and now moving from 3rd to 2nd.

It shows a lot of heart and passion for the game.

He's only managed to stick with the team because last year and this season he will $5.5 million per year. If he made $500k they probably would've cut him as he posted a .197 average last season. Some Tigers (not myself) love this guy, but for tooo many seasons now his bats has been just awful and his defense declined alot in 2011 at 3rd. I would rather see Santiago and Raburn play there. Seriously .197....just awful

Tigers "fans" I should have said...... a vocal minority love the guy, despite his terrible stats. He had some solid years, he's done which he proved in 2011.

i find it very difficult to believe he can be a passable second baseman.

Leyland said the magic word IIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFF he can play defence and IIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFF he can hit, he can win the job. Since it has been 2-3 years since he has done either, Leyland is not holding his breathe. He palys hard and gives it all he has so yes its refreshing. But he is just not that good anymore.

guy just wants to play...

I am so freaking sick of this Inge thing.
Want to start Inge?
Hit the freaking ball.
If you cant do that be happy as a late inning defensive substitution.

You're no Omar Vizquel.

correcto-mondo! leyland's giving him a shot in which most people believe he's earned but the bottom line is his usefulness in the bigs has probably come to a close.

Great idea from Inge, I hope he wins the job. He's been down the last few years offensively but he still makes some dazzling defensive plays which may be needed more than ever this year with Cabrera and Fielder in the field. He's switched positions before- pitcher in college, catcher, then third. Good luck notorious I.N.G.E!!

Inge is awful. Let him play 2nd in Japan if he wants.
