It's Official: Philadelphia Phillies Ink Placido Polanco


After declining the option on Pedro Feliz, the Philadelphia Phillies were in need of a third baseman. Today, the Phillies found their man.

According to various sources, the Phillies have officially signed Placido Polanco to a three-year, $18 million deal with a mutual option for 2013. Polanco, who will be 35 at the end of next season hit .285/.331./.396 with 10 home runs for the Detroit Tigers in 2009.

I've got to be honest, I am very torn on whether or not I like this move for the Phillies.

An Interesting Addition: Billy Wagner Joins Braves—How Will Mets Respond?

BY MICHAEL GANCI
EDITOR

When Billy Wagner returned from injury last season, I didn’t think the Mets were going to have much use for him. I was actually at Citi Field when he made his return, and the crowd was clearly excited to see him.

He returned with a vengeance, and he pitched so well that the Mets were able to trade him for two players to be named later.

Team 81: The 2004 Detroit Tigers

  • Year: 2004
  • Record: 72-90

  • Run Differential: -17
  • Pythagorean Record: 79-83

  • Manager: Alan Trammell
  • Best Transaction: Traded Ramon Santiago and a minor leaguer to Seattle for Carlos Guillen.  Forget that Guillen’s current contract is a total albatross and think back a few years ago to when Carlos was a major piece of the Tigers offense.  Guillen was a league-average shortstop at best during his time in Seattle, which is why the Tigers had to give up very little to ob

What Would it Take to Get Carl Crawford to Brandish a Tomahawk?

For those of you who have actually looked over my profile, you know that Carl Crawford listed first on my Short List under "Favorite Athletes."

To expand on that positioning, Carl Crawford is my favorite baseball player/athlete/celebrity/everything.

Speed, defense, average, a little pop, and hustle.

What's not to love?
