But he spent enough time comparing Holliday to Mark Teixeira to create a distinct impression what kind of money he has in mind. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Mark_Teixeira/632595 632595 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:36:01 EDT Jerry Crasnick http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Mark_Teixeira/632595 Money may keep Yankees off free-agent market THE Yankees found $181 million lying around last offseason, and made a late, victorious bid to corral Mark Teixeira, so never say never when it comes to the Yankees and spending.

The team reportedly opened discussions with a six-year, $98 million deal.

Our View: These talks are just preliminary, but that doesn't appear to be nearly enough to lock Holliday up. Scott Boras has said he will use Mark Teixeira's eight-year, $180 million as a benchmark, so the Cards better get that offer increased if they want to keep the slugger.

Our View: For the entire playoffs, he's hitting just .172. He has twice as many strikeouts, 16, as RBI, seven. Apparently, $180 million doesn't buy nearly as many clutch hits as it used to. The Yanks have come to within one game of their 27th championship despite his invisible bat, but if the Phillies come back to win the series, it will be hard not to label Tex's woes as one of the main culprits.
