You can make the case that Tex and Holliday...Matt,<br /><br />You can make the case that Tex and Holliday are both top 25 players in baseball, but their free agent difference will simply come down to market differences.Jorge Says No!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04358737179481087781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153099884472898149.post-60118391799032473322009-10-20T15:42:39.094-04:002009-10-20T15:42:39.094-04:00Doesn't take much to realize Holliday won'...Doesn't take much to realize Holliday won't get $180mil, but I don't think the comparison between the two is really that off. <br /><br />Teixeira is one of the top 3 to 5 first basemen in the game. Can you really name 4 left fielders who are hands-down all around better players than holliday? I don't think I can.<br /><br />There's also no argument whatsoever in my mind that Bay is comparable to Holliday, making him the "best" FA this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
