I may still have less than 50 hits on this thing, but at least John Mozeliak is one of my readers. The Cards GM told Joe Strauss today that they are intensifying pursuit of Holliday and willing to offer Ludwick, one of the three young relievers (McClellan, Motte, Perez), and an unnamed prospect for Matt Holliday.
Just yesterday on this blog I made a pitch for Holliday in the previous post. His situational stats make him a great fit at cleanup, where is exactly where the Cardinals need to make their first step toward getting a playoff team on the field. In my opinion, this move increases the Cards' chance of making the playoffs by at least 20%. The one thing I would absolutely do as part of the deal is Get an Extension. If we're going to get this guy, let's get him for awhile. Rasmus-Pujols-Holliday sounds like the best 2-3-4 in the MLB over the next couple years.
Is this a Playoff caliber lineup?
1. Schumaker
2. Rasmus
3. Pujols
4. Holliday
5. Ankiel
6. Duncan
7. Molina
8. Pitcher
9. Ryan
