Gotta love it.<br /><br />I mean, it shouldn't be that big a deal if you sign for 5 million instead of 7. But in sports, that is the way it is. And it is a big deal when a player who can get more chooses to sign for less.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-12648286543400798972010-06-02T13:39:44.654-04:002010-06-02T13:39:44.654-04:00I love how you use the useless phrase, "At th...I love how you use the useless phrase, "At this pace..." when talking about Inge. If you had said the same thing last year he would have had 45 home runs and 125 RBIs. <br /><br />To spread his stats now out for the rest of the year has proven to be useless. Inge will do what Inge does: Fall off the table at some point in the next month.

He should be no worse than average defensively, and he'll certainly be above-average offensively. I've always loved his leadership while in the infield. No matter what position he is playing, he's the leader of the infield.
