Bad news for the Rockies but I think that is great news for a number of teams including the Yankees. Damon is a pos and we are going to be looking for a LF. We could put Melky in CF and aquire Holliday and put him in LF. Holliday has got a great bat, he batted .340 last year with 36 home runs and 137 RBI's. Compared to Damon who batted .270 with 12 home runs and only 63 RBI's. But yes I know Damon is lead off so his numbers won't be as high but his average should be up. I think Holliday would be a good fit..It was assumed during the season that Garrett Atkins would be used as a trading chip this winter. That thinking changed at season's end. General manager Dan O'Dowd put the word out at the GM meetings in November that Atkins was not available. The primary reason? Unless the Rockies find a way to bridge the financial gap with Matt Holliday, he could be moved after next season. So the Rockies don't want to lose their top two right-handed bats in consecutive seasons. In an ideal world, Holliday and Atkins get paid and stay long term. -- Denver Post
