Sounds like Scott Boras wants to get PAID.

Sounds like a man who wants to get PAID.

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.

At least we will have parted on good terms.

(I'm not reading too much into this, though.)

[GodWeenSanto]

what do the dodgers want him for? a $100m outfield? C'mon the market is not that foreboding. He'll reup for market value, cards lose that deal as i feel money is best spent elsewhere.

[GodWeenSanto]

mets might blow his socks off but who really want's to go there?

Where's this contract? I'll sign right now.

[Eephus Speed]

How much do you all envision Holliday being offered? Can any team other than the Yankees afford to offer Holliday much more than $100-120 million?

I saw this somewhere...

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...

Reading that Jim, and I'm already moving on. (In my best White Sox guy voice)

HE GONE!
