Placido's A Phillie

In the first moderately interesting, multi-year signing of the off-season, the Pedro Feliz Era came to an abrupt end Thursday when the Philadelphia Phillies inked Placido Polanco to a 3-year, $18 milion dollar deal.

Polanco didn't set the world on fire offensively last year (10 homeruns, 31 doubles, .331 OBP, 7 steals) but he's a high-contact guy, averaging 43 wiffs per 162 games played over his 9 year career, an excellent defender (2 errors at second base all of last year...and an average of 7.5 boots per 162 games played at third) and a career .303 hitter.  And let's face it...surrounded by Rollins, Utley, Victorino, Howard, Werth, and Ibanez, he doesn't need to hit .340 to be useful.

In other news, the Atlanta Braves continue to set their sights on 103 victories by a final score of 2-1 in 2010 by signing another set-up/closer type...Takashi Saito.  This, just after hours after agreeing to terms with Billy Wagner.
