Well that's interesting, but not the end of the world.
Pudge obviously was the leader in putting Detroit back on the baseball map, but he has no power and has lost his arm (prolly pretty much the same as Farnsworth).
We dunno what goes on in the clubhouse, but we do know that Inge stayed in town to become a full time catcher eventhough he is such a remarkable third sacker.
I think sending Pudge to New York (in his last year of contract) allows the Tigers to get rid of him without embarassing themselves next year in contract performance clauses that Pudge will probably not be able to meet.
White Flag ? Doubtful from U.P. here.
And thanks, I didn't know that!
