Sizemore is expected to be full recovered in six-to-eight weeks, which gives him plenty of time before spring training.

Our View: It's unfortunate that Sizemore will miss the fall league, but he will be fine in plenty of time for spring training. He is expected to challenge to be the team;s starting second baseman next season assuming Placido Polanco leaves, and he has a bright future ahead of him. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Placido_Polanco/600164 600164 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 14:48:01 EDT fanball.com 28 days 7 hours 42 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Placido_Polanco/600164 The Detroit News' Lynn Henning reports the Detroit Tigers sound as if they are letting 2B Placido Polanco leave as a free agent. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Placido_Polanco/573980 573980 Fri, 09 Oct 2009 10:48:01 EDT kffl.com 43 days 11 hours 42 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Placido_Polanco/573980 Placido Polanco may have played his last game as a Tiger, according to MLive.com.

Our View: "No matter what happens, Placido Polanco has been a wonderful player and person," Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski said on Thursday. Polanco has been with the Tigers since midseason 2005, rapping over 800 hits and hitting above .300. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Placido_Polanco/573172 573172 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 19:12:01 EDT fanball.com 44 days 3 hours 18 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Placido_Polanco/573172 Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski referred to second baseman Placido Polanco in the past-tense during a press conference on Thursday.

He's increased his batting average to .288, which still ties for his lowest mark since 2002 when he hit for the same average. The fact he's been able to increase his batting average 32 points in the second half is a testament to his sharp hitting eye. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Placido_Polanco/564031 564031 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 0:12:25 EDT mlb.com 48 days 22 hours 18 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Placido_Polanco/564031 Polanco sat out Thursday's loss to Twins.

Polanco will be replaced by Ramon Santiago at second base.

Our View: Polanco has had a very nice month of September at the plate, but he will be on the bench for the big game today. He is an important part of the Tigers' squad, and they will need him to stay hot going into the postseason. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Placido_Polanco/559192 559192 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 11:56:02 EDT fanball.com 51 days 10 hours 34 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Placido_Polanco/559192
