According to Twitter Scott Sizemore fractured his tibula Thursday

I am not seeing this anywhere else. Just on USAToday as they referenced Twitter. Is this old news and I missed it or the story hasn't been broke yet? This could change things how the Tigers approach the offseason. I bet they offer Polanco arbitration now. I wonder what kind of offers Placido will get in the offseason? There are actually quite a number of decent second basemen in the league. Except for the teams in the AL central, Calaspo is about the only decent one if Polonco leaves.

I also figured the Tigers were going to offer Polanco arbitration.

Pity about the injury to Sizemore though.

On the plus side

We may have found a starting gig for Ryan Raburn… at least in the short term.

Well, at least Raburn has big league experience at 2B

Not a lot, but more than Sizemore

Big league experience is overrated

Who would you rather have- Juan Pierre or Jason Heyward?

Taking over for Placido "Thanks for my 308473rd Gold Glove" Polanco?

I’ll go ahead and take a guy that’s play 2B at Comerica.

It would also help if he could actually, you know, hit

Per Fangraphs.

We may give a few runs back with the glove, but we’ll gain a whole lot back on the bat.

Hopefully he doesn’t show any regression in the progress he made this season in the minors and his excellent AFL stint.

Per @allikazzo

DetNews story quoting DD: “It’s a setback in that he won’t be playing in the Arizona Fall League, which has another month to go, but the recovery should only take about six weeks,” Dombrowski said. “He’ll probably be in a walking cast. He’ll be fine in a very short time.”
