How many more days until Jim Leyland officially places Brandon Inge where he belongs, and announces Ryan Raburn as the everyday starting second baseman for the Detroit Tigers? There are exactly 18 days until the Tigers take the field against the Red Sox and as far as we are concerned, the "battle" for second base actually ended before spring even started. As spring training has unfolded, the inevitable has emerged. Here is a comparison of numbers between the two.
Brandon Inge
9G 25AB 3R 6H 1HR 1RBI .240BA .736OPS
Ryan Raburn
8G 21AB 6R 10H 5HR 15RBI .476BA 1.859OPS
As if the past two year's of stats weren't enough, this spring has decided who should be at second. With all of this in mind, we will be placing the over under on the number of days until Raburn is announced as the starting second baseman at 11 days. He should have at least a week to settle in and prepare for the season ahead.
Shouldn't even be a question....go Raburn!
