Sometimes the sports’ media truly amazes me. They have absolutely no problem calling Adam Dunn a creation of Great American Ballpark but then also seem completely OK with the Mets looking at Ryan Church. The New York Times called it a “dream”.

with Ryan Church’s indefinite unavailability, makes it pretty necessary that he’ll be trying to snag a right-handed hitting corner outfielder. Xavier Nady? Jose Guillen? For the dreamers out there, Matt Holliday?

Not making that up.

I don’t ask for much in life: the occasional slice of tasty pizza, a cold micro-brew a few times a week, four seconds of research from a major news source.

Holliday is absurdly average away from Coors Field. His home line (.364/.427/.566 in 327 games) and his away line (.278/.341/.452 in 308 games) translate to an impressive looking total career line (.322/.385/.557). It’s not that good… really.

On the other hand, Adam Dunn — an obvious creation of his ballpark mind you — sports a career home/away split of .253/.390/.545 in 530 games at home and .241/.371/.495 in 531 games away. The increase in SLG can obviously be attributed to his hitters park at home, but it’s not so painfully absurd as Holliday’s.

It’s amazing how stupid baseball organizations are.
