"What?". That was my first reaction when I heard about the Detroit Tigers dealing Ugie Urbina (and Ramon Martinez) to Philadelphia for infielder Placido Polanco. My gut reaction was this was a bad deal. Not because Polanco is a bad player. He is, in fact, a fine upgrade at secondbase. No, the reason I didn't like the trade is because I just don't quite see the logic in the move. Billfer at the Detroit Tigers Weblog did a good job of summing up my sentiments.
Basically, this deal seems to just create as many questions as it answers. There's no reason not to embrace Polanco's arrival, but I have to wonder if it's really what is best for the organization?
