I'd love to pick up Inge as a catcher.
Next year when he is not C eligible he'll be WW material, but I'll take .280-.300/15-20/70-80 from a lead-off hitting catcher anyday of the week.
He's also going to steal 5-10 bases and he's on pace for 142 runs. OK, I'll take half that! Still not bad.
See you later LeCroy. Where do I sign up?
On a side note (and I am a Tiger fan here) a few years ago I was the biggest Inge critic/cynic. And I'm anxious to see if he can repeat his 2004 season. But today you won't find an analyst or announcer in Detroit who does not consider Inge to be the best all-around athlete on the team. There are those who still say he is a better defensive catcher than Pudge.
