Matt Holliday to Athletics

by TroyNeelorBust on Nov 10, 2008 11:29 AM PST

I was just watching the show formerly known as Mike and the Mad Dogg. They just had Jon Heyman on from Sports Illustrated, who's at the Winter meetings. Pretty reputable source, and he said the A's have just traded for Holliday.

No word on who the A's are giving up, yet. It's got to be pitching, though, right? Regardless, according to Heyman the A's have just traded for a right handed, power-hitting 300 bat. Wow!

It has to be pitching and an outfielder I bet.

My guess would be one of our current starters and probably Buck, Denorfia or even Cunningham.

What do they call that show now?

I use to love watching the little dude go into rants.

Rosenthal is speculating that it is Carlos Gonzalez, Greg Smith, and Huston Street.

If it's Carlos then

Billy obviously thinks Carlos is not going to be the superstar everyone thought.

Sending him to AAA last season was an indication I guess.

strange, I wouldn'thave thought it was an indication

since by most accounts CarGon should have spent the whole season at AAA.
