Afternoon discussion: What would Holliday and Fuentes cost? Is it worth it?

1 Jul

I’m a little pressed for time today, but I about fell out of my chair when I read the Cardinals may be interested in Matt Holliday and Brian Fuentes. Mozeliak may be serious about overtaking the Cubs, and why wouldn’t he? The NL has been surprisingly soft this year, and as good as the Cardinals have been, it’s hard to envision them continuing to do as well as they have considering the career performances they are coaxing out of their players. But would the cost be worth it? I would think the price would have to start with Rasmus, Garcia and a few other lesser prospects. A package similar to what the Tigers sent to Florida for Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis immediately comes to mind. 

I’m not advocating the deal, nor am I just dismissing it. At first blush, I’m not crazy about the idea at all, however. What do you all think?
