Polanco's warts are already evident and on another team I would keep him and Dozier, and eventually expect Polanco to be a super sub, PH, and base runner. And he would get plenty AB's. But this team has to acquire pitching , somehow. Even if it's a low 2 or a 3. Dozier, and maybe a combination of others is the only player we have outside of a couple untouchable youth that can bring that. That leaves me with Polanco at second, and EE as a placeholder at SS. You can't look at Polanco in a vacuum. The need for pitching supersedes who played second. As for Sano, you got me. The Beresford day rates a pass, but EE playing there is a waste of innings. You know what EE is, and you need to get Sano intrenched at 3rd. Unless the grand plan is for the return of Plouffe. Then you got me! I would have sat Dozier for some games of Polanco at 2nd, but BD's HR rampage screwed that up. That said, Molitor's lineups are indeed puzzling. One third to look at a prospect, one third to look at the Shaefers of the world, and then one third to try and win the game. And accomplish none of these.
