There is no question in my mind that the coaching staff and analytics staff is doing everything in their power to make sure that Holliday is as well prepared as possible before every game. And he's been in few enough games at this point to where I wonder if there's enough data yet to start drawing up an effective strategy anyway. Now that the decision has been made to bring him up, Holliday is owed a long enough window to show he can't make the adjustment even with the benefit of the best support. If that means he has to be sent down, I'm not going to stress about it. I'm also not going to hold my breath that he'll turn the corner even so. Adley made it, Gunnar made it, so did Westburg and Cowser and Mountcastle and Grayson... If Holliday doesn't make it I'll be surprised and disappointed, but the Orioles under Elias are still way ahead of the game and Norby is looking for an opportunity and time marches on. -

If a good defensive SS hits 54 HR and is only worth 8.1 WAR I’m gonna have some serious questions on their methodology.

It’s not the same …. Henderson was batting just under .200. Holliday is batting .040. So about 20 % as good as Henderson was at his worst. And he’s striking out in more than 1 out of 2 trips to the plate. There is no sense panicking either way. But, there is nothing wrong with sending him down. I think too many of you guys are acting like not sticking with him is some kind of sin. As a fan, I’m worried about damaging his confidence too much. Plus after all the bullshit from his father, hopefully now he will keep his mouth shut.
