Placido Polanco Update

Placido is batting .542, and he has me to thank for it.

However, he did bobble a grounder in the third inning and it allowed the Astros to take the lead. Luckily, the Astros are off to a sputtering start and the Phillies had no trouble coming back.

Should the plural of "Astro" be "Astroes"? Unfortunately, it is a prefix.

4/11/10 addendum- another defensive miscue

Polanco doesn't get back to the bag in time for a Halladay throw on a bunt, but Halladay takes the error and the blame:

"It's a tough play for a third baseman, because he's trying to read the speed of the bunt," Halladay said. "I didn't make a good throw to him. I think that's just kind of learning each other. I feel like that's a play we need to make later on."
