Yes, the first shot I took of Gregory Polanco back in 2010 spring training. Let it rain! That saliva will be selling for $100 an ounce on eBay.
**
Polanco was a rail when he first signed
**
No. 82, head & shoulders above everybody else
**
I don’t think the Pirates will bat Polanco eighth in the bigs
**
This is one tall dude
**
Take a bow, Gregory
**
**
The white sunglasses are a thing with Polanco and others like Alen Hanson
**
Should I take $25 million?
**
Polanco’s like ‘Did you see that?’
**
The frame is filling out
**
Fan friendly
**
1st spring training knock ever in 2013 (Sarasota)
**
And his first lead off of first base
**
Got in a little CF action in his 1st spring game
**
Polanco connecting in ’14
**
The guy’s ready to run as soon as he hits the ball
**
That’s why he beats out so many infield grounders
**
Polanco would be seven-foot tall if his torso matched the long legs
**
Tigers’ Miguel Cabrera chirped something to Polanco after a ground out
**
Pack your bags, Gregory, you’re coming to PNC Park
**
Super scout, Latin confidant, Rene Gayo. Thank you sir!
**
Time to join the big boys, Gregory
