It looks like Matt Holliday will be raking in some huge money this offseason. The Cardinals technically still have about 2 weeks to negotiate exclusively with him, but things aren't really looking that good for the Cards, and it seems almost inevitable that he'll hit free agency.

It that is indeed what happens, it's a smart choice for Holliday. He's the best free agent this year, and even though this is a ridiculously weak free agent class, he's sure to get the big dollars if he plays his cards right. The Red Sox and Yankees will both be looking for an outfielder, as well as the Cardinals, Giants, and several other teams. Things are looking good for Holliday, and I have a feeling that free agency will be very good to him.

here's the thing with Holliday for me. i think he'll stay in the National League for one big reason, he sucks against American League pitching. he struggled at the beginning of last year with Oakland so i'm not sure if any American League teams want to take a chance with him. i could see him being a Red Sox though, as a matter of fact he fits in perfectly with that team. if he goes to the Yankees then MLB should just cancel the 2010 season and just give them another ring, forget about it.

i agree, he struggled in oakland, and struggled in the world series, but in st. louis and the rest of the 07 season in denver, he was playing like a man possessed. i think he may figure this out for himself and stay in stl, or at least the national league.
