Matt Holliday Traded to Cardinals
I couldn’t post this on Friday when the trade actually happened because I was temporarily rendered comatose by the thought of what Matt Holliday can do batting behind Albert Pujols and what Albert Pujols can do batting in front of Matt Holliday.
Whew! I almost just blacked out again. It’s shocking and actually a bit nauseating, just like when you find out you’ve been living in the matrix.
Anyways, the A’s acquired third baseman Brett Wallace, righthanded starter Clay Mortensen and outfielder Shane Peterson in the deal for Holliday. Holliday hit .286 with 11 homers and 54 RBI for Oakland this season. Interestingly, Holliday had eliminated his high leg kick during off-season training with Mark McGwire; however, he had returned to his old plate technique in his last month with the A’s. Not surprisingly, it was also his most productive month.
Hey Sara, er um Drunk Chick. Great job on the blog.
I told your Dad a couple days after the trade that this
will put the Cardinals over the top. It’s amazing what
A.P. did with nobody hitting behind him. Now, Look out!
If you ever get writers block, how about listing your
all-time overhyped team. I nominate Kerry Wood as
the pitcher. All the “experts” said he’d be the next Tom
Seaver. His career best year was a whopping 14 wins.
The Indians are paying him 10 million this year. How
surprising, Cleveland is battling K.C. for last place.
Kerry Wood would be number one or Mark Prior or pretty much any Cubs player ever….Thanks for checking out my site, check back in or sign up for email updates
