Kawakami takes a realistic look at the Giants trade market and he says the only realistic move is for Holliday. RT and I talked about Holliday on our last podcast and we agreed he would be good to rent and see how he plays at AT&T to possibly sign long term. I like Villalona, and he's young, but like Kawakami says, he's destined to be a 1B/DH.
