What’s up with Brandon Inge?
        Inge, who revamped his swing on his own over the winter in an effort to cut down on his strikeouts _ before he lost his job to the Miguel Cabrera trade _ has been “swinging as well as I’ve ever seen him,” according to Jim Leyland.
        OK, that should enhance the Tigers’ chances of trading Inge to team where he will get a chance to play everyday _ something both Inge and Leyland say they want, right?
        And Inge says he would be willing to catch again, if that means playing everyday.
        Then, in the next breath, Inge says he can’t concentrate on hitting and catching at the same time.
        That certainly isn’t what a team that might be interested in Inge as a catcher wants to hear.
        Meanwhile, with Vance Wilson still recovering from elbow surgery and uncertain, at best,  for Opening Day, leaving Inge as the only viable alternative to Pudge Rodriguez behind the plate, Leyland continues to favor trading Brandon _ even though he admits, “it’s not the best thing for us.”
