Pat Caputo: And So Brandon Inge Wants To Take A Shot At Second Base For The Tigers...

It's bizarre, but I guess predictable, there is outrage in some quarters Brandon Inge would ask to try to play second base this coming season - and the Tigers will actually let him make the attempt.

Anything Inge does gets his supporters and growing number of detractors barking.

Second base isn't a strength for the Tigers. Ramon Santiago has displayed continually he is a backup player who plays exceptionally well only in short spans, but gets exposed when played on an every day basis for extended periods. I can't imagine Inge will have much range at second base, but neither does Ryan Raburn, whose inconsistency defensively, regardless the position, is maddening. Raburn is also the ultimate streak hitter.
