Now who is being dramatic.

We'll agree to disagree about exactly how bad Holliday is. He's not worth his contract, no where near it. But he's not a hack.

Here are his slash lines since coming to St Louis:

2009 63g .353/.419/.604/1.023 13 HR 55 RBI
2010 158g .312/.390/.532/.922 28 HR 103 RBI
2011 124g .296/.388/.525/.912 22 HR 75 RBI
2012 157g .295/.379/.497/.877 27 HR 102 RBI
2013 105g .289/.374/.460/.834 15 HR 61 RBI

Total St Louis Slash line:

.305/.387/.517/.903 HR 105 RBI 396


Folks can say what they want about Holliday on a personal level, that they just dont like him blah blah blah. When looking at his production and then saying things like "holliday is a joke" thats just pure and utter B.S. not backed up by any semblance of fact.

No offense meant but Holliday, comparatively, is a good value in his contract and his production with other similar outfielders not in arbitration bound years contracts.

His number are slowly trending down. He is 33, will be 34 next season. He is still putting up fairly good numbers and has 3 years left. Now there is the jeopardy that he has a substantial fall off in the last 2 years but I feel like that is highly unlikely. I would be surprised to see a year or two, if healthy, of an increase in production a couple of these years.

No, when looking at the market as a whole Holliday has been a good value and his production has been fine.
