Matt Holliday Needs to Be Benched

It is time for the A's to put there starting left fielder on the bench, and leave him there for a couple of games. Lets see if the team plays better without him.

Holliday was brought in to solidify the middle of the order, but instead has struggled mightily. He's had a period of well over a month before he hit a home run. He hasn't been driving runs in, even though he leads the A's in that category.

So, far he's been a horrible acquisition for the A's.

I've been hearing for the last few weeks with the weather warming up the A's bats should come alive. Well it's been warm in Oakland, and the bats haven't come alive yet.

Holliday had a chance to win the game for the A's today, but instead looked outmatched by a 92 mile-per-hour fastball from John Lackey.
