Big news out of Philadelphia, where the Reds have caught something of a break - Placido Polanco is not in the lineup, and utility infielder Wilson Valdez will start at third base. Polanco is apparently dealing with a back injury, in addition to the bone spur in his elbow that he already had.
Valdez got a lot of playing time in 2010, on account of Jimmy Rollins' health problems, but he doesn't bring Polanco's bat, nor the defensive comfort at the hot corner.
