It's not like Polanco was an all star, I still see that bouncer up the middle and remember thinking the game was over. The unknown is always scary.

I don't necessarily disagree with you but we don't know what DD and Illitch are thinking. We don't know what is their internal salary cap. It may already be pre-determined that Polanco is gone because of payroll. But it sure would be nice to gradually bring Sizemore along. He may be the real deal. but we don't know. Sizemore was never a high profile prospect.
