The A's gave the Tigers a list of prospects that they would want to discuss for Matt Holliday, but the talks failed to progress. Detroit hasn't been willing to discuss hard-throwing left-hander Casey Crosby, perhaps the organization's best prospect now that Rick Porcello is in the big league rotation. The Giants, too, are not expected to be a serious player for Holliday, who since May 31 has produced an impressive .892 OPS.
