Oakland County says hello!

Another intangible is that three of the other four second basemen in the org. (Worth/Santiago/Raburn/Rhymes) can play multiple positions and Sizemore couldn’t.

But he’s terrible.

Ugh, no on Polanco. That ship has sailed. Plus he doesn’t get on base enough, so why would you consider batting him leadoff?

For the love of God, can we please give up this “Polanco riding back to Detroit on a white stallion” idea, Tigers fans? He doesn’t get on base. Why does that qualify him to be the leadoff hitter? His OPS for this year was .674. .674!!!!!! That is actually not good!
Maybe the team did let him go a year too early as opposed to a year too late, but would we honestly be begging to have Polanco back if Guillén/Raburn/Rhymes/Sizemore/etc. had panned out? No!

Like Ron Washington is some great example of managerial genius.
