Look, Holliday hired the guy. And it wasn't at gunpoint.
haha. conveniently every one of those options will enter into a bidding war of epic proportions and pay the man far more than he is worth! also somebody said that heyman went on to imply that the cardinals are his 6th choice ... behind the red sox. fail.lukethedrifter wrote:Sounds like a man who wants to get PAID.epinephrine wrote:"hearing matt holliday has #yanks first on his free-agent list, followed by #dodgers, #angels and #mets. about 7 hours ago from web" lawlllllll
Where's this contract? I'll sign right now.GodWeenSanto wrote:mets might blow his socks off but who really want's to go there?
Let the hyperbole begin. The free-agent market hasn't yet opened for business, and agent Scott Boras is already touting Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday as the greatest player in the history of baseball. OK, Boras hasn't quite gone that far, but he has started his attempt to drive up Holliday's price tag by comparing him to another of his high-profile clients, Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira. The comparison is actually valid, however. Holliday has 27.8 WARP1 in his seven major league seasons. When Teixeira signed his eight-year, $180 million contract with the Yankees last winter, he had accumulated 27.7 WARP1 in seven seasons.
"These guys are blue-collar superstars," Boras said. "They don't hit 50 home runs, but they're complete players. They can give you something without swinging a bat. There are differences between hitters and complete players. Matt Holliday is a complete player. There is, frankly, no one like him on the market."
Holliday definitely gave us something without swinging the bat...jim wrote:I saw this somewhere...
