It looks like Brandon Inge worked on his swing this offseason. In an interesting look, Jason Beck breaks down what he did to refine things. What’s interesting is, way back in 2003, Brandon Inge had a horrible first half and was eventually sent to the minors. When brought back up, his attitude was to swing away and he had one of the best months of his career. Now he’s come full circle and it’ll be interesting to see how things work out.
Reports have surfaced that Fernando Rodney has some pain his pitching shoulder. The Tigers weak point is their pen and while they do have some potential darkhorses, Rodney was one of the guys the Tigers were banking on in the eighth inning. For now, Rodney has shut himself down to see if a little rest fixes the problem.
I missed this, but Justin Verlander turned 25 yesterday. Happy Birthday.
