Placido Polanco is a second baseman for the Detroit Tigers. A native of the Dominican Republic, Polanco was originally drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the 49th round of the 1993 amateur draft, but he declined a contract. A year later, the St. Louis Cardinals drafted Polanco in the 19th round, and he signed with the team on June 9, 1994. He made his major league debut with the Cardinals on July 3, 1998. On July 29, 2002, Polanco was sent to the Philadelphia Phillies along with Bud Smith and Mike Timlin, in exchange for Scott Rolen, Douge Nickle, and cash. After a couple of seasons with the Phillies, Polanco was traded to the Tigers for Ugueth Urbina and Ramon Martinez. In 2007 Polanco made his first All-Star team.

Don't be the guy who thinks just because he doesn't know who Placido Polanco is, he doesn't deserve to win the Gold Glove.

1. Trade Luis Castillo. Sign Placido Polanco. Part of the reason Mets pitching was so bad was because of Cora/Castillo.
