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

So what is everyone's gut feel on percentage chance he signs with us? 50%?

I'd put it around that yeah...way up from the 20% I had at the beginning of the offseason.

It is like the perfect storm for MO. Bad economy, Yankees laying off, Angels dont want to deal with Boras...
While the 'Bay not signing' factor with the Sox exists and could see them jump into the bidding, its almost a perfect scenario for Mo. Hope he wins.

Is Buster Olney the nerdy guy with the perpetual sinus infection?

LMAO!

Sig' time!

[Leroy]

I'm still at the 15% I started with.

If we do lock down Holliday, what was the last transaction we made as big as that? Rolen?

Pujols was after that wasn't he?

Oh yeah, that's true...guess I was thinking of new players. We would have had Pujols cost-controlled for four or five more years even if he hadn't signed that deal, no? Still, good call.
