Where you at Matt?

Matt Holliday please come save the Mets. I know it's not up to you but I'm gonna appeal to you first. We need your professionalism and supreme gap power. Some people (no one I wanna be friends with anyway) have already given up on you this season, they forget we are barely 35 games into a 162 game season and you've already raised your average to the .270 area with 5 HRs after your worst start ever. How quickly they forget your 25/25 prowess or your 130 rbis and your batting title capabilities. Well Matt, I haven't forgotten and I can only hope Omar Minaya hasn't either.

You are wasting away on a team that can't protect you in the lineup, can't win games, and surely doesn't deserve you. The Mets have some trade chips that need to be used. Lets get the job done Omar. Cheers to starting the hype machine early.

Yea I think Matts stats are probably right in line with what should be expected. His career stats were helped quite a bit by Coors field.

Outside of Coors he is a career .280 hitter. If you look at only his career away stats you have 2.2 seasons of at bats, so if you divide corectly he's a .280-20-85 guy. Not all that impressive really.

Now throw him into the grand canyon of stadiums and you have .270 hitter who will do 15-75.

Granted he will see a little bit of a boost moving to New Shea, but New Shea isn't exactly small either.

Go find a first baseman and forget about Matt Holliday.
