Denver Post: Paige: Time for Monforts to cash in biggest chip No Holliday in Colorado for that anarcho-punk-do’d Woody Paige. Holliday would be a significant addition for Cleveland, and the Rockies also could send best friend Garrett Atkins or Brad Hawpe.

The Rox, depending on the second player in the deal, play Ian Stewart at third or in left, and Ryan Spilborghs becomes a full-time starting outfielder who could be the next ...

Filed under: Denver, Rockies, NL West, MLB Media Watch, MLB Rumors, MLB BizWoody Paige is, of course, insane. But I suppose he borders on reasonable enough -- the idea that Colorado should trade Matt Holliday is in fact a good one -- that we give him a pass. However, when you look at what he thinks Colorado should consider getting in return for its MVP runner-up, well, there is no way you can legitimately rationalize that he knows where he is or what he is doing.
