There's a difference between not always delivering in the clutch and not once delivering in the clutch. Holliday is an Oklahoman A-Rod.
We paid for a top 5 outfielder. We got Reggie Sanders.

I understand your frustration but disagree that Holliday is Reggie Sanders. The Cardinals or someone else was going to give him the money... and the Cardinals did. Doesn't make the guy a different player than what he was before or is now... a real good player who so far hasn't lived up to his contract. I'd be more likely to blame MLB contracts the way they are now and the team that paid him than the player. Just my opinion. He's a really good player who was over-paid... like a lot are. But if StL didn't pay him someone else would have.
