Goodbye Polanco

The Tiger's did not tender an arbitration order to Placido yesterday, which means the end of Polanco as a Tiger. The Phillies have had some interest in him as a 3rd baseman and I am sure other teams will send him some offers on the cheap. He was my favorite Tiger for many reasons. The way he wore a scuba suit in April and October(November of 2006, too). I mostly like his approach to batting. Short stride, short swing hit it where it was pitched. Not a lot of guys like that these days.

I hope to be able to have Granderson as my favorite Tiger for next year. We'll see how the Winter meetings go...

632 Games, 2589 AB, 393 Runs, 806 Hits, 139 Doubles, ,13 Triples, 37 Home Runs, 285 RBI, 26 Stolen Bases,146 Walks, 162 Strike Outs, .311 Batting AVE, .355 OBP, .418 SLG% and a .773 OPS.

Well that didn't take long...Why didn't we offer him arbitration to get the bonus pick???????
