When the Oakland A's made a headline this past off-season by trading for Matt Holliday, there was a belief by many A's fans that he would bring that big bat to the lineup that the A's had been lacking.

If The Florida Marlins Are Firing Fredi Gonzalez, MLB Needs To Step In

Posted: 5th October 2009 by Steven Resnick in MLB
