I just got done watching FSN talking about spring training and Leyland said that Inge has been one of his pet projects during spring training. I just thought you would be interested in hearing that.
He talked about how the amount of errors he committed was unacceptable. He said that most of that is because Brandon thinks he can make every play and many times trying to make those plays hurts the team. He said he just needs to calm down, concentrate on fielding fundamentals and not try and make every play. He said that Brandon is a good fielder and he could become a great fielder. When asked about Leyland about Inge's hitting and if he is working on that, Leyland said some, but not much. With his hitting the best thing is to just leave him alone. He had a huge increase in his batting stats last year. He said the best thing to do is not to put pressure on him. He just needs to relax and hit the ball. He thinks that in the future we will see 40 Hr/.300 batting average type of seasons out of him.
