Matt Holliday is on the Angels' list of targets should they get serious about pursuing a bat -- he's more attractive than a guy like Mark Teixeira because he is signed through 2009 -- but because of Kelvim Escobar's injury, the Angels don't have enough organizational pitching depth to absorb the loss of a guy like Ervin Santana, Joe Saunders or Jose Arredondo, players the Rockies would surely target in any trade for Holliday.

Having Holliday sure wouldnt hurt the Angels

I wonder how many of the top teams in the AL/NL will continue to make their move through the deadline on the 31st. Through the dog days of summer, this is about the only interesting thing in baseball. At least until late August. I'm not a huge MLB fan, but I'm trying this year. After blasting golf for so long as being boring, baseball at least has a little more action.

the angels have a big bat on their list at the deadline every year, and never get the bat.

Lifetime he bats .075 lower away from Coors with slugging .200 lower. This year it's only .050 and .150 lower away form Coors; but, do you really want to risk trading top players on the Coors effect?

Adam Dunn is a perfect DH and can be had cheaper. BA is low; however, OBP is high. The guy scares the bejesus out of opposing pitchers the way he mashes balls into the next county.

When is the next Angels home game?
I'm flying my 2 sons in this weekend for a couple of weeks and want to go to a game.

Angels already have 5 OFers. Where's the room? Unless they trade 1 or 2...

"should they get serious"

When they get serious? Who couldn't use this guy.

This guy would be good anywhere. Holliday is a big bat.

July 9, 2008  10:52 AM ET

Holliday is a great bat, but don't the Angels already have a crowded OF as it is??

Agreed that Adam Dunn would make a very good DH and will likely cost less.

Thanks Coletrain, I live in Texas, but I'm here in Los Angeles building a store, I think my 2 sons will enjoy watching a team other then the Rangers.

I think Dunn would be a smarter add for the Angels

July 9, 2008  12:22 PM ET

Rockies would be stupid to trade away this guy. Not happening.

If they don't have pitching to deal, Dan O'dowd better not send anyone there, definitely not Holliday. If we can't get starting pitching for him, don't deal him.

Well alright! Maybe you'll spot me. I'll be there with my kids wearing a t-shirt that says "Nascar Blows". HA!

July 9, 2008  12:54 PM ET

Forget this and go after Texeria. He is a much better bat.
