When the Pirates signed Brandon Inge this winter, the idea was that he'd essentially take Josh Harrison's role on the club; pinch-hitter, utility infielder, maybe spell Pedro Alvarez against tough lefties, etc...
Brandon Inge is a Pirate now
The second game of this Pirates/Phillies series comes with an unwanted surprise: Brandon Inge's rehab assignment is over and he'll be joining the Pirates in Philadelphia tonight.

Inge wants to keeping playing
BRADENTON, Fla. -- No matter what his numbers might say, Brandon Inge isn't ready to call it a career.
