Update: HOLLIDAY A CARD 7yr/120 million, p178

[Bo Hart]

Looks like $2 million is deferred each season, without interest.

[cpebbles]

So present-day value is about $16 million per season, which makes it a solid deal by the most pessimistic of projection methods.

$ per WAR, WAR, salary “earned”
$4.0 4.8 $19.2
$4.5 4.3 $19.4
$5.0 3.8 $19.0
$5.5 3.3 $18.2
$6.0 2.8 $16.8
$6.5 2.3 $15.0
$7.0 1.8 $12.6

That gives you 120MM$.

Under the terms of his new seven-year, $120 million contract, the Cardinals will pay Matt Holliday through 2029.
It doesn't quite match the infamous and often mocked contract Bobby Bonilla signed with the Mets. Holliday's contract includes a $17 million team option for 2017 with a $1 million buyout. The option becomes guaranteed if Holliday finishes in the Top-10 of the 2016 NL MVP voting. However, Depending on whether the option is exercised by the team, Holliday will receive $1.4 million or $1.6 million each July 15 from 2020 until 2029. The Cardinals are expected to finalize the agreement with Holliday on Thursday.

I don't know...I bet with Duncan and Ankiel gone, Tony will play the three of them together a lot. No more man-crushes to satisfy. Colby will sit some against lefties, obviously...but I bet Ludwick gets the chance to start 125 or 130 games this year.
