Thread: What will Tigers do with Placido Polanco in offseason?

On the flipside, the potential dead weight contracts of next season: 10M - Robertson- final year of his deal 12M - Willis- final year of his deal 18M - Maggs- if they allow his option to kick in, which is becoming more likely 12.5M - Bonderman- final year of deal 13M - Guillen- yes, he's great when healthy, but hardly an iron man. Still 26M left on his deal. 6.6M - Inge- despite his hot start to this year, his ailing knee could be a...

While I would love Polanco, the Tigers will have more pressing contracts and potential contracts to deal with.... 2010 Justin Verlander arbitration eligible (2010-2011)....EEESH, Justin will be expensive coming off a Cy Young and ALDS MVP!!!! You gotta pay! 2010 Edwin Jackson arbitration eligible (2010-2011)....Tigers have rarely not extended a player in this situation.... (at least 8M ish for Edwin). 2010 Washburn, go all out for the guy no,...

http://blog.mlive.com/cutoffman/2009...ith_placi.html The Detroit News' Tom Gage wonders why there's so much talk surrounding Magglio Ordonez's hot bat and so little about Placido Polanco. Polanco is hitting over .400 this month and extended his hitting streak to 11 games after a single in the first inning Monday. He also added a single in the third and an RBI single in the seventh.

You let Polanco go you better sign Figgins. If you don't and let him go you fucked up IMO. PP is still valuable to us. Last thing we need is another Everett in the line up. You take PP out of that 2 spot and replace him in the line up with some guy like Everett we are in serious trouble.

Polanco can still be effective with his style for a couple more years. I wouldn't be upset if they re-upped him for 2-3 years at a reasonable number. I like the idea of Figgins, because he'd fill two spots for one - middle infield and leadoff.

I like PP, but I'm thinking that getting Sizemore, who is no slouch himself, acclimated to the majors sooner rather than later is more beneficial to us.

We better resign P-Double!
