Given Shef's troubles, that is a pretty good solution. Clete Thomas looks like a great backup outfielder and maybe a replacement for Jones in left if he continues to out-hit him. In fact, all of our utility players/ backups are doing a nice job at the plate.

I guess I would go with your plan to put Inge back at 3rd. Then he should also have no problem backing up Pudge every once in a while. When that happens, throw Cabrera back to 3rd, put Guillen in, and either have Pudge DH, or even let Granderson DH until he's back up to full speed.
