With Bonds not in the Sox' plans, who might be a good fit in Boston? Gammons sees possibilities in a deal with the Colorado Rockies to bring Matt Holliday to Boston. "But it would have to be the right fit," Gammons said, noting the Sox would wait as long as possible until they know more about the health of David Ortiz.

Home: in 327 games
.364/.427 (Holy Crap)/.659 OPS+ of 128 78 HR 285 RBI

Away: in 306 games
.278/.341/.452 OPS+ of 70 39 HR 161 RBI

He also has an insane BABIP of .390 at home vs. .320 on the road. There is no doubt he is a good player, but he is astronomical in Coors and that may raise some red flags. He also has struck out 36 more times on the road vs. home in 49 less at-bats.

However, those numbers are really brought down by some horrible away numbers in his first two seasons. Here is his year-by-year road OPS:

2004: .654
2005: .729
2006: .819
2007: .860
2008: .893

I mean, it's a trend, for sure, but I don't know how much stock you can put into this type of thing. Is he learning to hit on the road?
