But you completely missed my point. since mid-August when Polanco went on the DL, look at how poorly the Tigers have played WITHOUT JUST THIS ONE PLAYER. Now, I'm not gonna say that they haven't been producing as much offense as the should have in some of those games or that we havent had some sloppy gameplay or pitching. But I'd be willing to bet that Placido Polanco will be a MAJOR factor in the playoffs for Detroit IF he can stay healthy the whole time.
