Don’t kid yourself, third base is very settled in Detroit. They are committed to Castellanos. But after having to waive, then trade Jefry Marte, they needed someone for organizational depth, and Casey McGehee fills that.

When McGehee played for the Giants he was terrible and got a lot of unfair treatment from the fans. I always hoped he would turn it around but he just never seemed to get going in the majors and when he did get something going in the minors he didn’t get a chance to keep that momentum going in the majors because Duffy was playing so well.
But I tell you this, McGehee is a class act. The way he handled the demotion to AAA and the way he handled Duffy taking his job was really professional and deserving of the utmost respect, way more than the fans gave him. I truly hope he does well in Detroit and get’s another comeback player award.

Agreed. While is was very happy when they cut him, he couldn’t have handled it any better.. Hearing Duffy’s praise for him after the fact made me respect McGehee that much more.

Two very well written comments from tigerdoc616 and Deke. Almost like a breath of fresh air…

He should go back to Japan where he was successful.
