[edit] Biographical Information

Brandon Inge is an extremely-gifted natural infielder, who was converted to catcher in the minor leagues. While this allowed him to reach the majors, it affected his hitting very negatively. He was moved back to third base when the Detroit Tigers signed Ivan Rodriguez before the 2004 season and has developed as an outstanding all-around player since. He is quick, intelligent, sure-handed and possesses a gun for an arm.

Inge made headlines in 2008 when he went on the disabled list for pushing a pillow. He was trying to position the pillow beneath the head of his son, who slept in the same bed as Mr. and Mrs. Inge; in so doing, he repopped a muscle.
