Holliday was 29 and coming off a 1.023 OPS in St. Louis. 7-120 was a big contract, but $17 mil per wasn't crazy given his production. Davis is 29 and coming off a .923 OPS, so I wouldn't mind him - but a lot depends on the price. I'd prefer to keep Heyward over signing Davis. But, I'd feel a lot better paying Davis or Hayward $130-150 mil over paying Price $210-230 mil.
Pitchers seem to get a hurt a little more often and after watching Wainwright, Carpenter and Garcia all battle injuries after signing for big money - I'd be a little squeamish to pay an over-30 pitcher $200 mil.
