most important position player????

As a Detroit Tigers fan, you have faith in that Miquel Cabrera, Magglio Ordonez, Curtis Granderson, Placido Polanco, and Carlos Guillen are going to continue to put up big numbers in the batters box. These guys have done it in the past and there is no reason to believe it won't happen again. There is one player however, at the bottom of the batting order that has to decide what type of player he's going to be, and that is Brandon Inge.

Listening to Jim Leyland tonight on the radio, he is going to sit down with Brandon and let him know that you are not going to be able to hit .210 or .215, and be a regular in the major leagues. In 2006 he hit .250 and had 27 home runs and 80 rbi. That's what he should be shooting for. Those numbers will carry the Tigers into the playoff hunt. Not to many teams have that kind of power at the bottom of the order. On the other hand if he hits .205 with 15 home runs and 40 rbi, than he is underachieving. Inge is at the position that he wants to play, 3rd base, so now is the time that he clears his head, and puts the bat on the ball.
