Tigers’ pitchers and catchers reported yesterday as the 2008 spring training season kicked off. Some year soon, I’m hoping to make it down to Lakeland to see some spring training action. Right now though, I’m just happy baseball is on the horizon.
Brandon Inge is the big talk of camp. Jim Leyland said it’s likely he’ll still be traded but in the meantime, he’s going to revert back to his 2004 roles as a utility player. According to this report by Tom Gage, there’s only two spots he won’t see action at this spring. Pitcher is the obvious one and first base, where Carlos Guillen will be making a permanent move too, is the second.
It is a great day for the tigers when they have more talent than what they can field. Brandon Inge will be the best 10th man until he is traded or someone gets hurt.
