Printand I like Matt Holliday
the guy can hit,i hit for power, and run
and his defense is just as good as the defense of our current corner outfileders
the guy can still hit
u can say all u want about his hoem and road stats
but the guy can rake
i know billy beane will squeeze cashman' s balls for hollliday
but i figure that we cant have three cf of the future between melky, gardener, and jackson
so we trade one, i would trade melky and we give some starting pitcher prspects
swisher needs to be relegated to the bench and we cant count on damon to stay healthy
matsui needs to go, and is overrated and can hardly hit now

Stay away
at ALL COSTS!
Please a moratorium on Holliday trades? He is not worth anymore than Swisher and unless the A’s will take Brett Tomko, Jose Molina and Matsui for him, then absolutely not.
why
he’s hitting 274 9hrs in a new league/new pitchers. give him a season before wegive up on him

how can you give up on him
when you don’t have him on the team?
For what he makes, he should be putting up better numbers than Johnny Damon…..

he plays for the A's
in an awful park
put him in Yankee stadium and hell do great especially with our lineup
yeah because
Yankee stadium is such a haven for right handed hitters with that short right porch!
eh, i'd rather wait it out,
go with Damon and Swisher and hope Holliday and/or Bay hit the FA market.
+1
Just like not trading for CC or Tex last year, why pay twice?
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
why?
Our outfielders are doing fine. We need bullpen help. A dominant setupbto Mo. We have too many outfielders.
how old is Holiday? I think the Yankees are fine with the outfield that we have plus AJax in AAA

he'll be 30
on opening day next year. if the can sign to a short term thing, fine. but no more 8 year deals or the like..

sure
I’m sure a guy with a MVP and Boras as his agent will sign a 4 year deal!

This is ridiculous
It would be too costly to trade for Holliday (what pitching prospects are you recommending that we trade YV?) and to keep him for any length of time may necessitate a 6-8 year deal; 6 with an option, even in this market (since I’m sure the Mets would make a grab at him), would be the minimum and I don’t think it would serve the Yankees long term to invest in a power-compromised right-handed bat coming off his peak years, esp. with cheaper options to be found elsewhere.
The Yankees need to get younger and more cost-productive especially in a division with innovative front offices (say what you will about the Rays and Red Sux but we’d be lyin’ if we denied that they have a few smart guys upstairs) and the youth movement the BJ’s and Orioles are heading towards.
The last thing we need is Danny Tartabull II (albeit with 5 or 6 more SBs).

Don't over estimate the Rays
The ONLY reason the Rays have done anything is because they were last place for like a decade. With that level of lousy you better be able to draft some real studs. They are not the franchise to use as a measuring stick against. The Red Sox’s front office is pretty damn good.

only problem is...........
the buzz about Jeter going to LF has started. His role at SS is almost complete, Austin Jackson might be up by September, then you have Gardner and Melky—-if he stays for the long term, Holliday likey will have a high price tag also. NO THANKS
