ESPN now heard the confirmation is complete, the Florida Marlins have agreed, and the deal is final.

What about moving Inge to shortstop and Guillen to first base to make room for Cabrerra? There would be no ground balls through the left side of the infield with that defense.

Forgot about him. I just hate to see Inge's defense on the bench. Doesn't defense still win Championships? Does he just end up as the utility infielder?

We're gonna need that considering the way Bonderman gets shelled in early innings.

Package him up and trade for a pitcher. I think he's too talented to be a utility guy. Although we could certainly use him as that. He a former catcher too I believe.

Inge has been worthless at the plate. Like TaShawn said, you either trade him or use him as a backup utility guy. With all of the old guys on the roster, I'm sure Inge would still see plenty (perhaps too much) of action.
