Second Base in 2010
Placido Polanco has been a tremendous bargain. First, the Tigers gave up Ugueth Urbina to get the guy and Urbina has basically been in prison since then. So that worked out pretty well. He’s also been healthy most of the time, has been a great hitter at times and a great fielder as well. Finally, [...]

The combination of Bobby Seay and Fu-Te Ni finally give Detroit two quality lefties in the pen. No longer will Nate Robertson sit and pout taking up a spot [...]
