Athletics hope OF Holliday more than a rent-a-slugger (usatoday.com)

Outfielder Matt Holliday came in to train in Arizona a week before pitchers and catchers were due at camp. He invited shortstop Bobby Crosby to join him for hitting workouts in the offseason, then had Mexican food catered into the team's facility for his new Oakland Athletics teammates. Holliday also plans to move his family to the Bay Area for the season.
