Odds and Sods

Colorado Rockies left-fielder Matt Holliday may be a coveted name come July.

Holliday, 28, has posted .973 and 1.012 OPS seasons the past two seasons.  He signed a two-year $23 million contract with Colorado in January, making him a free agent after the 2009 season.  He would likely command somewhere near Miguel Cabrera’s eight-year $152.3 million dollar deal, a figure the Rockies will not entertain.

Rosenthal lists the Indians, the Cardinals, the Yankees, the Tigers, the Blue Jays, the Mariners and the Mets as potential suitors.  He also believes that the A’s could trade for him during the stretch run and trade him in the winter.

Some suitors, however, may be scared off by his home/away splits.  At home Holliday has been a monster with a 1.016 OPS, but away from Coors field this dropped to just .809 OPS.  He has nearly twice as many home runs at home 59, as on the road 30.  His OBP drops from .430 to .343.  His slugging percentage drops from .676 to .466.  Doesn’t look to promising.
