08:10 AM ET 02.19 | So much for carefully controlled rehab programs for Brandon Inge, who underwent extensive right shoulder surgery in September. He began mixed martial arts training with Mike Barwis, a Michigan-based strength and conditioning coach. ... [Inge] trained with Barwis during the winter, as did fellow professional baseball players Mitch Maier, Ryan LaMarre and Alan Oaks. But they didn't join Inge in cross-training. ... [Said Inge:] "People were like, 'Nuh-uh.' Sparring, going at each other, takedowns. On the mat is the hardest part. You are battling for body position, trying to control his hands, because if you get in certain areas he'll put you in an armbar in two seconds. Nobody wants a part of fighting (Barwis). I'm crazy enough that I don't care."

Inge has stunk for years now. I don't know why he kept getting signed.

Because he had a propensity for diving at every ball hit his way.

Yeah I guess the 40 million he's made over his career just isn't enough to sustain him.
