the guy is a moneyball type player who was a first rounder several years ago. we
just haven’t heard much about him because he’s had several injury induced setbacks.
That was a hawt curve
No strike though :(

In response to Holliday being miserable. I was miserable watching his lackluster play. I’m glad he’s gone. Don’t come back until you grow up Holliday.

I heard Holliday say how much he liked his teamates and appreciated the time
he spent in Oakland. Now maybe that’s BS but the guy seems like a classy guy to me.
That's what I thought, too.
He was only “miserable” because he was hitting badly and he knew it. Any player is miserable in a slump. It wasn’t about hating Oakland.

The dude was most certainly a class act
It seems like some people around here figured Matt Holliday – Coors Hitting = Matt Holliday Not Giving a Rat’s Ass.
I saw that too, seemed classy.
He never said he was miserable, that was some speculating, although its not hard to understand why he would be miserable.

Pardon my work ethic...
but I think a person who is paid a mega-huge salary should play all out all the time for the team that is playing them. Whether the team is in contention or not!
If I thought Holliday had done that I would feel differently…He did not bad mouth the team – he may be a class act, it just didn’t seem he played to potential. Maybe I expect more of the professionals on the field – especially those that are lauded as the BEST athlete on the field.

Serious about Holliday
He gave little effort on D. His O. did pick up toward the trade deadline, but he’s greedy. Turned down 4 years $72 mil, and didn’t want to get injured this year. Good riddance. I’d rather have Wallace who wants to be here.
Law pointed out that just about every advanced defensive metric...
… rates Holliday as above average in LF.
Is that potential or actual performance??

Actual performance over the last several seasons
Apparently, anyway. I believe the quote was that he was rated above average defensively “even though he doesn’t look good doing it.”
Gardner is still out there waiting for someone to hit him some more balls
I think he should have a bandanna around his neck like a frisbee dog.

i’d like to see racing catchers at next year’s ASG.

Isn't the HR Derby long enough as it is?

See, Wuertz cleverly got throught the middle of the order in the last inning
thus making it easier for Bailey now.
What a team player
Two losses since the AS break
I’m worried that his trend is down…

IDK about that.
I don’t like the Cubs, period.
Now, the Cardinals are running on career years from Franklin and Piniero, along with Carpenter being healthy.
Now that they’ve given up Wallace, their window really isn’t that deep, even though they have the epically awesome HOF Pujols on their roster. But then it’d be awfully funny for the Cards to miss the playoffs.
><
Why in hell is Ankiel in the lineup over Rasmus
I love TLR, but WTF?
Kills the defense, kills the offense, AND emphasizes the fact that Schumaker is not a 2B and is only playing there because he’s management’s mancrush.
