I don't know the years, but last year he rejected $18 mil per from the rockies. Remember, his agent is Boras.

No fucking WAY he's worth that. If he is, then Pujols is worth $30 mil a year.

As well he should if that no-talent Holiday can get $18 mil.

Cards have raised their offer already. Boras has succeeded in getting them to bid against themselves.

So this is what 25 HR's and 100 RBI's gets you now?

My 15 year old son is headed back to the batting cages as we speak.

pair those power numbers with a BA over .350 and yes, Virginia, you have a special player

Is he worth what they'll end up paying for him, absofuckinloutely not, but the market is what it is

how many MLB players are going to go .350+, 25+, and 100+? That's a pretty small club.

Matt Holiday's CAREER Batting Average numbers:

2004: .290
2005: .307
2006: .326
2007: .340 (36 HR's, 137 RBI)
2008: .321
2009: .313

Holiday hasn't come CLOSE to repeating his 2007 season, before OR since. He's a 30/112/.310 guy.

THAT ain't worth $18 mil a year.
