Thursday Farm Report: It's Holliday Time in Albuquerque
Matt Holliday, looking to show he still has the offensive potential to help the Rockies down the stretch, added an page to his resume with Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday night.
Holliday went 4-for-4 with a double, and scored three runs. Holliday has hit safely in 10 of his 11 games with the Isotopes, and jumped his average to .326. He has seen playing time as a DH as well as at first base and in left field.
The Rockies see Holliday, an original Rockies player, as a veteran with the hope he could become a Jason Giambi-type, impacting the clubhouse as well as on the field.
