Real quick here:
Every one of them has a reason to sign Holliday, who won’t be 30 until next month. Maybe even the Angels, should they lose out on John Lackey, fail to strike a deal for Roy Halladay and find nowhere else to turn, jump in.
From here. The last sentence doesn’t scan particularly well — though it’s just barely parsable — but that’s not what I’m here to talk about. I just have a little quick question.
Is that really the way it works? If you need a pitcher, and you don’t get one of your top two choices, do you just say "fuck it" and sign an expensive outfielder instead? Or maybe they plan to make Holliday pitch.
