Sun, 13 Dec 2009 08:48:04 +0000 http://www.i-yankees.com/?p=12971#comment-6977 You think he is willing to take close to half of Tex's deal only one offseason later even though both represent the best offensive player on the market with above average defense at their position? I don't believe Holliday is the same level of player that Tex is but I think he does and I think he values himself in the 100 million dollar area and I am sure Boston will give it to him in order to keep him away from us and t replace Jason Bay who rejected there lasted offer.

Nothing worse than paying an aging player the price he was getting in his prime. If he is looking for a 6 year deal I see no way he takes less than 100-110 million, he can say he doesn't care about annual salary as much as long term security but I guarantee he isn't going to take a longer deal for less cash.
