Buzz: Holliday vs. Bay

by Michael Baron on November 1st, 2009 at 2:01 pm

Jon Heyman of SI.com is reporting that in a phone interview, Joe Urbon, the agent for Jason Bay, is calling his client “the most complete player on the market”.

According to Heyman, Matt Holliday‘s agent, Scott Boras was shocked by Urbon’s claim, calling Holliday “the only young complete free agent player available.”

Regarding Holliday, Boras drew statistical comparisons to Mark Teixeira who signed an eight year, $180 million contract last winter with the Yankees, to back up his claim.
