Epic Drop: Top 10 reasons why the A's traded for Matt Holliday

Tonight's list covers the shocking trade of the A's for Matt Holliday. It's all snark and hurt feelings, of course, since being an A's fan for the past several years has been like being a Phillies fan in the mid '90s... but if they can back this move up, with, I don't know, five or six more (move Huston Street, please), well, hope springs eternal.

OK, I lied, I'm sure they're just doing it as a nonsense instant rental, and even if they do keep them, they'll still have one of the worst five offenses in baseball, unless Daric Barton decides to become Albert Pujols, or if they have a half dozen rookie of the year types to swing the bats next year. But somehow, I'm doubting it.
