Reliever Greg Holland will travel to Philadelphia for the Cardinals' series with the Phillies, manager Mike Matheny said Sunday. The former All-Star has been on the disabled list since May 26 with right hip impingement.
"He said he felt like he's figuring it out," Matheny said.
Holland made two rehab appearances for AA Memphis this weekend. He gave up a home run Friday but pitched a scoreless inning Sunday.
The Cardinals signed Holland to a one-year, $14 million contract after spring training. He struggled in the big leagues before going on the disabled list, posting a 9.45 ERA over 18 games pitched.
During his rehab stint, Holland posted a 7.20 ERA in five appearances between AAA Memphis and AA Springfield. He walked five and allowed two home runs.
Hey Meathead, do these stats from his rehab look like he has it figured out?:-) [Reply]

Well, when Matheny is consistently advocating for Holland's worthless ass all of ST and they sign him on the first day of the season, it's hard to argue that he doesn't. [Reply]

its his standard comment now. He said the same thing with Martinez, Reyes, Fowler and now Holland. Doesn’t matter what the stats, his or everyone’s eyes can see. The player says he’s good to go, that’s enough for Matheny. [Reply]

if your a member of the Athletic or not read your free articles you should read the Rosenthal article. He’s basically saying it’s put up this season or heads should roll. Not just Matheny. [Reply]
That's great and all, but I don't give a shit about "should." We all know that heads should roll. The only question that matters is if heads will roll. [Reply]
