IIRC he's a lefty who throws absolutely nothing but junk -- the kind that Jim Edmonds always got the night off against. My guess is that it has something to do with Gulin pitching.

Ankiel has 30+ HR power, and is great in the OF, Rasmus has the potential to be a gold glover in the future, and it sound like a 20-20 guy, and Ludwick looks like he can be an all around above average player. I would rather see us save the money and prospects and get a to notch SS this off-season. Maybe even a healthy pitcher. The last thing we need to do is dismantle our minors for a rental, and an expensive OF who would further crowd the OF. Without stockpiling good playrs in the minors the last few years we would not even be where we are today. The last thing we need to do is go back to an aging group of expensive veterans.

I was just trying to think of the prospects in our system that are most comparable to those involved in the Tex trade. Andrus, in my opinion, is a ridiculously overrated prospect though. I've just never seen anything about him that warrants his incredible hype. Good points Chris and you’re right.

In 1297 PA away from Coors field, Matt Holliday is .277/.340/.450. Now, it HAS climbed every year and is doing so again this year (.309/.401/.472), but I need to be convinced that it's worth Garcia, Anderson and others. I don't see it, especially when he'll get Pujols money in the next two years. Dunno if this has been mentioned in previous Holliday discussions…

I think you may be putting more value on the Cards prospects than in reality. Salty is way more valuable a piece than Anderson. While Anderson will probably be a .290-.300 mlb catcher, Salty has the potential to be a consistent 30 hr catcher. Not even really that close in terms of value. The Andrus and Kozma differential once again favors Texas. There probably aren't any GMs or scouts that would say Kozma is on the same level as Andrus. The Todd and Feliz comparison is very interesting, because like Shh I think it favors Feliz on pure talent, but Todd to me represents someone who will be no worse than a #4 MLB starter. However on pure value Feliz probably would rank higher. In order for the Cards to get Holliday, unless Mo robs Colorado, it will take a similar bounty as the one seen for Teixara. However, if you want a true comparison you will see a haul of Rasmus, Garcia, Anderson, Addition, Daryl Jones. To me that is way to much for a season and a half of Holliday.

It is not like we are short in the outfield. But his stats would look great at second base...(I know, just saying) Do we even need to trade for Holliday? It is not like we are short in the outfield.
