I could totally see Beane getting Holliday. It seems like a moneyball move. He'll recollect prospects after the season is over and the A's were already close last year. I think that makes perfect sense.
On a side note, the Rox have to be feeling pretty stupid right about now passing up on Ludwick for this package. Unless they were so high on Street or something (if he is even included). Still Ludwick is going to do a better job of making up for the loss of Holliday than the A's package will.
Does anyone think the Reds are just damned because they have so many young, cheap players that project to be good contributors? And that no team is going to trade with the Reds unless they give up one of the young guns? I mean, Cueto compared to this package? The Reds easily could've/should've been able to assemble a package similar to the one the Rox bit for that wouldn't require any major prospects.
