Omar Infante's days as a Detroit Tiger are done as he was traded today to the Chicago Cubs for OF Jacque Jones. Infante was a solid player for the Tigers, but this seems like a pretty smart move. He had one year left on his contract and never really broke into a regular role in the Tigers lineup. Another reason that Infante was just not working is Maybin, who will likely take Omar's place at the flex position. Jones will be able to help out in the outfield by relieving Thames and Rayburn who both struggled at times in 2007.
Here are some articles about the trade. Omar's sweet batting stance will be missed!
