Polanco joins Phillies to play 3B: Placido Polanco returned to the Phillies on Thursday, agreeing to an $18 million, three-year contract. The 34-year-old free agent won Gold Gloves at second base for the Tigers in 2007 and 2009 but will shift to third base, which hasn't been his primary position since 2002. He replaces Pedro Feliz, who became a free agent after the Phillies declined his $5.5 million option. "I always wanted to be here, I never wanted to leave," Polanco said. "One of the reasons I wanted to come back is because it's pretty obvious the team is committed to winning. And I want to win. That's it. They asked me if I was willing to play another position and I was like, 'Sure.' I can play third base. I played in college, in St. Louis and I also played some third here. I feel pretty confident about it."

Fantasy Analysis
Polanco batted .285 for the Tigers last season with 31 doubles, 10 homers and 72 RBI. He hit .341 and made the All-Star team in 2007. He might get back to the 12-to-15-homer range he reached in his first stint with the Phillies, but he needs to hit .300 to have significant Fantasy appeal. The added versatility helps, but he's still no more than a late-round pick in 2010.
