Matt's Holliday

The Cardinals have aquired Matt Holliday and $1.5 million from the A's for the Cardinals top prospect Brett Wallace, Clayton Mortensen, and Shane Peterson. Matt seems very happy to get out the American League and the A's and he's very happy to be on a good team in a pennant race. In his debut Friday, he went 4-5 with a double, stolen base, and RBI in an 8-1 rout of the Phillies. Joel Pinero got the win to improve to 9-9 on the season and his ERA drops to 2.95 and rookie J.A. Happ (7-1) was handed his first loss of the season.
