Leyland Keeps Tinkering

Brandon Inge will now split the catching duties with Ivan Rodriguez, each starting every other game regardless of the opposing pitcher:

Leyland has said for weeks Inge will catch more. He hadn't said how much more until Monday.

Rodriguez started at catcher in all but one game on a recent nine-game West Coast trip. "I think that's one reason his average has fallen off," Leyland said of the workload.

Dating to the start of the West Coast trip, Rodriguez was hitting .114 with two RBIs over the past two weeks entering Monday.

The Tigers could probably carry Rodriguez's bat if Cabrera, Renteria and Granderson were hitting closer to their career averages.

It's not Pudge's abt that's the Tigers problem - it's the other teams - when Dtrain pitches Leyland needs to play a couple guys on the other side of the fences. Can we go back to the spring training posts with the predictions, not predictions but exclamations of Tiger greatness?
