Would It Have Killed Billy Beane to Have Waited Until Monday to Trade Matt Holliday?

Yep, Beane made the A's even more impotent by trading away his best slugger in the middle of a series at Yankee Stadium yesterday. Holliday went to St. Louis for three minor leaguers. Naturally, the A's looked awful in an 8-3 loss last night.

The A's play the Red Sox at Fenway this coming Monday for four games. The trading deadline isn't until 4 PM this Friday.

Thanks Billy.
