TODAY: PLACIDO POLANCO
The Official Site of The Detroit Tigers: Team: Player Information
LEMME tell yall about this guy. Here's my list of the greatest second basemen I have ever seen:
1. Joe Morgan
2. Ryne Sandberg
3. Lou Whitaker
4. Rod Carew
5. Placido Polanco
POLANCO MAY HAVE HAD THE GREATEST YEAR OF ANY 2ND BASEMAN IN THE LAST 34 YRS SINCE mORGAN'S BACK TO BACK mvp SEASONS. (Caps brainlock). The last AL MVP at 2nd base was Nellie Fox in 1959. Polanco had a season last year that was better at .341 avg/200 hits/and 0 lemme repeat ZERO ERRORS at 2nd BASE! Even if they DID count the 1 the scorers took away, that still makes only ONE! Unbelievable.
This year in Spring TNG, he's at a robust .500 avg. This is a man's man and this year he WILL get his due. A batting title and a top 3 MVP vote.
PREDICTION: AVG: .355 HR: 7 RBI: 70 2B: 45 3B: 5 ERRORS: 2
