There are three months left until spring training in March, so the Cardinals have a lot of time to make a deal with someone to fill that hole in the depth chart in left field. Of course, the Cardinals are eagerly awaiting Holliday’s response to their offer. The Cards apparently upped that offer as of late. Will this increase Holliday’s chances to say? We all hope so. However, management is very aware of the fact that Jason Bay declined his offer to stay with the Red Sox. This puts a major hole in the Sox’s depth chart. If Holliday does decline the offer, that leaves Bay left. Bay is probably the team’s second priority. The Red Sox have not shown interest in Holliday, which is good, because they can bid higher. There has been talk, however, about the Yankees. The Yankees recently added Curtis Granderson to their outfield, but will they add Holliday? Possibly. I am sure the Yanks will jump after Matt if he happens to decline. Next year, though, the Red Sox and Cardinals may end up simply switching their left fielders, and if that does happen, we will still have a silver slugger in left field. Bays average is a problem, however, batting .267 in 2009. I prefer Holliday, and if you agree, please comment. If you don’t, go ahead and comment also. I would like to see your argument.
