Go American League (except the Yankees).
The bigger picture Captain;
72-37 with Polanco
23-29 without Polanco
Tigers are averaging 7 runs per game in the 6 games he's played in since his return.
Opponents are averaging 6.6 since he's been back and the Tigers are 2-4 during those 6 games, but he really doesn't have anything with the pitching now, does he?
If you want to look at small pictures though, I'll give you a good one. Polanco's driven in 8 runs in the 6 games since coming back.
(Over the course of an entire season that would equate to 216 RBI's.)
Snapshots are misleading, wouldn't you agree?

Let's try that again.Tigers win tonight and they win the Central le.
What's the division-winning scenario?
Nevermind.
AL CENTRAL
Detroit and Minnesota are both in the postseason, but like the Dodgers and Padres, are awaiting the specifics.
If the Tigers and Twins stay tied after Sunday's games, a head-to-head record tie-breaker would give the Tigers the division le.
1-6 with no RBIs in a 12 inning loss. Pay him more.
Polanco is 13-27 with an OPS of better than 1.000 and 4 RBI through 6+ playoff games.
pfft. Dude is seriously overpaid.
Wish the Cards would've pulled the trigger on that deal with Philly to bring back Polanco
I think if anyone has watched the playoffs, can now properly determine, he deserves every last cent of his contract.
I agree.
I thought that reviving this thread was useful to demonstrating that fact to those who thought differently.
Ive always liked Polanco, one of the more underrated players in baseball.
Funny how CaptMike has been so diligent in do enting Polanco's bad games, but hasn't posted anything since the postseason started.
You know who he is now?!?I'd say he has officially owned the team you're sporting in your avatar.
Tigers' red-hot Polanco (9-for-17) selected ALCS MVP
DETROIT -- Placido Polanco separated his left shoulder two months ago and was worried his season was over. He not only made it back, he helped put the Detroit Tigers in the World Series for the first time since 1984 and won the American League Championship Series MVP award.
Polanco had three hits, including a ninth-inning single two pitches ahead of Magglio Ordonez's pennant-winning homer that gave Detroit a 6-3 win over the Oakland Athletics on Saturday and a four-game sweep.
Polanco was selected MVP after hitting .529 (9-for-17) in the four games and extending his postseason hitting streak to nine games -- dating back to 2001 with St. Louis.
On a team full of free swingers, the contact-hitting Polanco was a perfect fit in his second season with the Tigers.
He hit .295 during the regular season, including .396 with runners in scoring position. His importance to the Tigers was magnified by his absence.
Polanco separated his left shoulder on Aug. 15 at Boston while making a tumbling catch in the outfield, and Detroit skidded down the stretch in his absence. He returned Sept. 22 -- shortly after saying he was out for the year -- and helped the Tigers finish well enough to secure a spot in the playoffs for the first time since 1987.
CPTMike...is he still not worth the money.
Right up there with former LCS MVPs Craig Counsell, Eddie Perez, Sterling Hitch , Steve Avery, Marty Barrett, Burt Hooton, etc etc etc.
Ohc omeon Mike
The guy was a stud with the Cardinals.
Quit the petty BS.
BTW, congrats to the Mets for beating the out of the Cards tonight, hopefully the Cardinals can recover tommarow, err tuesday.
Game tommarow doesn't look like its gonna be played.
A lot of rain coming?
Good point Mike. (ignorance is bliss)
Clap clap clap clap. Good work, Pal.
Reviving the Polanco thread for CaptMike.
Tigers and Braves are playing on ESPN and it was pointed out that Polanco is batting .355 with 2 strikes on him this year, best in the majors.
6th in AL Batting Average - .337
5th in AL Hits with 95 (218 hits pace)
1st in strikeouts per at bat ratio with only 14 in 282 at bats (no one's close to him).
He's my Tiger.
Nice revive.

Sort of A Rod Lite? Awesome regular season stats, yet melts in the big series? I'm sure he's really enjoying that ALCS MVP. Sort of like Nowinski really enjoyed his MVP this year or WCF MVP last year.
Ya...he sure melted away with an injured shoulder. He couldn't get around on the inside fastball, and that is all he got.
All I got out of that was "I was wrong, and I will never admit it!"
