Why not take a shot at Minnie Minoso too?

[funkster]

Or Stan the Man?

[Destined]

How's Bob Gibson's arm these days? I'm sure Dave Duncan can turn him into a Cy Young.

From ESPN Buster Olney's blog:

<i>"If the view of the Cardinals' $120 million deal with Matt Holliday isn't unanimous on the side of baseball management, it's pretty darned close. "Given what was in front of the Cardinals, that will go down as one of the worst deals in major league history," one MLB official said. "I have to give [Scott] Boras credit -- he managed to get them to bid against themselves. After the Mets signed [Jason] Bay, everybody pretty much knew who was in and who was out. No Yankees, no Red Sox, no Mets, no Dodgers, no Angels -- and he still got $120 million. Incredible.""</i>

Not surprised that most baseball figures are saying the Cards shit the bed on too many years and for too much cash.

Interesting that $2 MM of the $17 MM per year is deferred without interest to future years so the Cards are on the hook for paying Holliday until something like 2029.

Just hope that Hendry doesn't see this and use it in all his future contracts. I can imagine that Jim offering an Aaron Miles-type player $10 MM a year with $7 MM deferred until 10 years past the end of the contract life. Imagine attempting to budget for a GM's mistakes a decade after the mistake was made.

They won't be paying Holliday in 10 or 20 years. They'll purchase an annuity each year at a dicount to the $2 Million which will payout in 2029 9or whatever it is). Basically, it's just Boras' way of making Holliday's contract look bigger.

I was gonna say that I didn't think there was any way this poster was real, but I didn't want to scare him off.

Hundey does have a nice ring to it though, I must admit.
