BP says the Tigers infield defense will be about 20 runs below average, which, while bad, isn't even the worst INF Fielder or Cabrera have ever been a part of.
20 runs is a lot to make up, but replacing Inge's 550ish OPS with Prince or Miguel makes up for it, plus some.
EDIT: Inge is unhappy. He's always been a selfish player, not wanting to catch part-time so the Tigers could save a roster spot, so it's far from surprising. Considering his '11 campaign was historically bad, I'm sure no one cares.

Whatever strikes me as
interesting, and serious Milwaukee Brewers thoughts. If you are a believer
in respecting OBP, throwing strikes, and keeping the ball in the park,
you may have found the place you've been searching for. I believe in low taxes, small government, and am not afraid to be labeled patriotic.
