Home 2b 89 3B 16 HR 73 Avg .364 OBP .426 SLG .664 OPS 1.090 Away 2B 72 3B 7 HR 36 Avg .274 OBP .336 SLG .444 OPS .780 Big time drop in power away from the statbloating park they call Coors Field. Based on what I have heard and seen on video of FMart he will be much better than Holliday if the park factor was neutral. As a reference forhis career Luis Castillo has a slugging of .365 at home and .346 on the road and this is a guy who played in a huge park and has not power even if he played in Coors and he is only 80 points behind Holliday's road slugging.

How about Fmart, Neise, Heilman and a prospect for Holliday and Fuentes? Works for them to get a guy that can start for them now, another that can next year and then a high celling prospect in Fmart? As for Helton, I am not sure you want those last 2-3 years of that contract. According to MLBtraderumors the Rockies don’t even want MLB ready talent for Holiday.

It's not the Mets fault they saw something in his physical they didn't like and decided to back out...blame your client.

I would rather see that and move Heilman to the minors since he has options left.

You can talk to me about Jones, Hunter, blah blah blah. I watch Beltran everyday and he is better than all of them. Beltran is the best centerfielder in baseball right now.
