This is the time of year where I especially hate being a small market team.

Wallace is cool and all but good deal for stl imo.
although if you're stl wouldn't it make a lot more sense to go after a 2b or 3b and put skip back in of??? he's been horrible at second. not putting any thought into what's available though
hindsight being what is the whole holliday saga probably ends up being a net loss for OAK. They essentially traded Greg Smith, Carlos Gonzalez, and two 1st round draft picks for Brett Wallace (though the draft picks from Street wouldn't come until after next season).

I think the A's won this trade in a landslide. The only problem with Wallace really is what position will he play, and if the Cards don't resign Holliday than they gave up waaay to much for a few months.

Oakland basically traded Carlos Gonzalez and prospects for Brett Wallace and prospects.
