Tigers release Inge, call up Eldred

Brandon deserves some happiness, I hope he finds it.

Brandon Inge got to play in the big leagues for 11 years, hopefully that makes him happy.

IIRC, there was some support here for bringing him in as a FA at 3B to succeed the Great Feliz.

I would think that some other time will pick up Inge this season but chances are this is his final season in the majors.

The way I remember it is we came close to making a deal for Inge but it fell through, which is why we settled for Feliz.

Inge has signed with the A's.

I think Spider is talking about the next year. I thought he was a good choice as a UT and backup at 3B in case Freese got hurt. He's a great defender at 3b. We entered that offseason not thinking we had much money available for upgrades. But, then we raised payroll by close to $10M and the rest is history.
