Since when is Matt Holliday a superstar? According to Sports Illustrated, he is. I think the media is getting a liberal in using that term...Yeah, he's a good player, he's batted over .300 consistently for the last three years and has decent power, but a superstar? Just because you drafted him in the first round of your MLB fantasy league does not make him a superstar.
Derek Jeter is a superstar. Albert Pujols is a superstar. Manny Ramirez is a superstar. These guys have been around and done it year in and year out. People who aren't baseball fans know their names. I would be willing to bet that most people in the state of Colorado could not pick Matt Holliday out of a police lineup.
Don't demean the use of the word superstar by applying it to guys like Matt Holliday. It's not a slight, but two All-Star appearances do not make you a superstar. In three to five years, maybe, but not now.
