Scott Boras suggested the Cardinals would ensure Albert Pujols' enhanced production by re-signing his client Matt Holliday. "You kind of have to look at the component and say you may not be signing one player; you may be making the decision to retain two players," Boras said. "Because (by not retaining Holliday) you're putting a player (Pujols) in a position he was in prior to Matt that was very difficult for him. He'd get walked a lot. He'd get moved around a lot. It's just tough to find players that take on hitting behind Albert Pujols. "Matt's numbers are his numbers and who he is. Just remember he stepped into a situation and did something few major leaguers could do: hit behind the game's greatest player." |
