Terry Foster: We Cannot Take Our Eyes Off Brandon Inge

What is it about Brandon Inge?

We love him. We hate him but we cannot ignore him. I wrote a column on Inge for today's Detroit News and I immediately knew it would create a fire storm. It was the most read story the past 24 hours on Detnews.com and people are chirping all over the city.

Former Tigers pitcher Denny McLain blasted Inge saying he should be grateful to be on a more competitive team rather than complain about losing his third base job to Miguel Cabrera. McLain is right. Inge does not deserve to complain about this. I understand he is a competitor and wants to right for his job. But he comes up way short in the argument.

Inge batted .193 last season while Cabrera batted .344 with 30 home runs and 105 runs batted in. There is no comparison between the two. Inge's defense does not make up for 150 points in batting.
