PLACIDO POLANCO RUMORS
The Rapid Turnaround of Placido Polanco
Polanco has remained healthy and has gotten hot at the plate. Will it last? Photo (AP)Placido Polanco was one of the Phillies biggest question marks headed into 2012. After a hot start in 2011 that lead to a starting All-Star nod, Polanco cooled off down the stretch.

Phillies Odds And Ends – Lee, Worley, Polanco & The Nats
Lots to discuss about the Phillies’ weekend, so I thought I’d do an odds and ends piece instead of 5 separate articles.

Polanco’s 2000th Hit Helps Phillies Win
The Phillies Monday night 5-1 win over the Astros was full of hopeful signs. A little at a time, things are getting better for this team, which is currently still in last place in the NL East.
Starting pitcher Joe Blanton had another great outing, making us all wonder where this guy has been all these years. He has transformed from Average Joe to “I have an ERA under 3.00” Joe...

Out of the Batter's Box - A toast to Placido Polanco's 2,000th hit
A toast to George Brett, who celebrates his 58th birthday today. Here he is enjoying a beverage with Mike Schmidt for a Sports Illustrated photo.

What Do the Philadelphia Phillies Need to Do About Placido Polanco?
