So long Pudge! It looks like Dave Dombrowski is starting to make some moves with this team. Its about time. I don't know if this was the right move but at least he is starting to realize that the team he assembled isn't cutting it. Handing over the catching duties to Brandon Inge for the rest of the year is understandable, but to name him the catcher next year, come on! I guess Dombrowski is feeling guilty for stringing Inge around all these years, from catcher, to third base, to super utility man. The problem with naming him catcher for next year is that Inge is hitting .227 this year. That was his problem in the past, a good defensive player with a some power, but strikes out way to much and can't consistently get on base. I like the pickup of Kyle Farnsworth though. The Tigers bullpen is in disarray right now and Farnsworth will hopefully add some stability to it. The Tigers came from behind last night, the same day as the trade, and maybe that is the type of win under those circumstances that can motivate a team. I don't want to write off this season yet, but its getting close. Lets see how these next few games play out and if Dombrowski makes any more moves before today's trade deadline.
