Spotlight's on Matt

Lots of MLB stuff coming out today on our slugging left fielder, first was news that Holliday shared the NL's Player of the Week award with Andruw Jones. Also, Thomas Harding says it would take a stellar package for the Rockies to consider moving him in a mailbag.

At least right now, it's not a hot-button issue. It would take a knock-their-spikes-off offer for the Rockies to trade Holliday this winter, and that might not be enough.

Note that the possibility isn't ruled out entirely. With the Rockies' current backlog of outfielders this actually makes some sense, particularly if an upper rotation pitcher was offered as part of the  exchange. I don't see the right move happening this offseason, especially given the recent trend of teams being relunctant to give up their young players with the most promise.

That said, there's an underlying assertion in the "At least right now..." part, that the Rockies are already looking past Matt Holliday should negotiations with Boras on a future deal prove unwieldly.

Torii Hunter
30 homers and 95 RBI.  That may be the quietest 30 homers I can ever remember.

Holliday
Until he gets closer to being a free agent we don't NEED to trade him so it is just a matter of figuring out how and when to get maximum value for him.

If, at any point, we get a deal like that offered by the Angels for Tejada then we would be foolish not to take it (duh).

Boras factor
Holliday ain't going anywhere.. expect for that darn Boras variable.

Arrgggg..

Ok, forget it, he's gone.

Arrggg...

We can always hire a hitman to take care of that Boras character. And then we'll blame it on... President Bush!

Yeah.. he gets blamed for everything anyway.

Hey, we all know that George Bush doesn't care about purple-black-and-silver people.

Oil
Maybe if we dig an oil well at Coor's Field he will care.....

yeah....
that's what happens when you can't admit responsibility for your own mistakes.  

that...and the fact that he is in charge of a incompetent and corrupt administration.

Isn't it the leader's job to take responsibility for mistakes under his own watch...?

you had to bring up politics...didn't you?
