Third baseman Brandon Inge has agreed to a two-year deal with the Tigers, with an club option for the 2013 season, the team announced Thursday.

The 33-year-old third baseman finished the season with a .247 batting average with 13 home runs and 70 RBI. He played in 144 games, all at third base, where he led the American League with a .977 fielding percentage.

"The Tigers' organization is pleased to announce the signing of Brandon today," general manager Dave Dombrowski said. "Brandon is one of the top defensive third basemen in the game and a quality individual we are proud to have as a representative of the organization."

On the final day of the regular season, Dombrowsky said that he wanted to keep Inge at third base because of his defensive skills and outstanding work ethic.
