Colorado Rockies: What Matt Holliday could bring to the team

Back in the 1998 Major League Baseball draft, the Colorado Rockies drafted Matt Holliday, an outfielder from Stillwater High School in Stillwater, Okla., in the seventh round of the draft. At the time, the Rockies had no idea what impact Holliday would eventually have on the club.

In the beginning of the 2004 season, Holliday made his Major League debut with the club and made an instant impact, hitting .290 with 14 home runs in 121 games during the season. His biggest season with the Rockies, however, came in 2007 when Holliday hit .340 with 36 home runs and 137 RBI.
