Catching hinges on Inge

The Tigers will make Bradon Inge their starting catcher in the wake of Ivan Rodriguez going to the Yankees for Kyle Farnsworth.

"Brandon Inge is ready to tackle being the everyday catcher. He gives us a quality chance to win on a day-in, day-out basis and this allows us to address the one area of our club that needs to be addressed the most, which is our bullpen,” general manager Dave Dombrowski explained. He also said Inge will be the No. 1 catcher next season.

Fantasy Impact: Inge's fantasy value improves only because he'll be getting more regular at bats. He's a better power option than most catchers, but his .227 batting average is bad no matter where he's playing.
