Matt Holliday was a vital part to the St. Louis Cardinals success in the last decade. With four All-Star appearances in his tenure with the Cardinals, he has shown that he is one of the top hitters in the game back when he was in his prime.
Back in 2009, the Oakland Athletics traded Matt Holliday to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for a package of prospects, including Brett Wallace. He was already deemed as one of the best hitters in the game. He won three Silver Slugger awards during his tenure with the Colorado Rockies.
