You guys realize what a complete and total freak out would have occurred on this board if Hendry had given the EXACT same contract to Cameron, right? People would be screaming from the rafters about how no one in their right mind would give a 37 year old a 2 year contract, and how almost 8 million a year is 3 million more than anyone else would have given him. Then I would have asked how you guys have any idea what other teams offered him, and 4 of you would have accused me of blowing Hendry.

Yes he is. I said this exact thing earlier in the thread.

And if the Cruds offer Holliday and 8 year contract I will be so happy. Holliday is a bit of a fraud in my mind. He has extreme splits from when he was with Colorado and wasn't all that good in Oakland. He got absurdly hot for 3 months and now he's getting MVP money. This will come back to bite the Cards in the ass.
