Found November 10, 2009 on FanHouse:

TEAMS: St. Louis Cardinals

Holliday
by Jeff FletcherFiled under: Cardinals, Red Sox, Yankees, MLB Inside ScoopCHICAGO -- Matt Holliday's performance in Oakland last year might have given some American League general managers a reason to be reluctant before ponying up the big bucks for him, but Scott Boras is ready with the answers.
