Matt Holliday is a candidate for this years National League MVP award, after leading the league in batting (.340), RBI (137), hits (216), doubles (50), total bases (386) and extra-base hits (92). He was third in slugging percentage (.607), fourth in homers (36) and seventh in on-base percentage (.405).

Holliday earned $4.4 million this year and his projected salary for 2008 is $8.7 million via the arbitration process. He is not eligable for Free Agency until 2009. The Rockies are considering offering him a four-year contract worth about $60 million.

The Rocky Mountain News reports that Holliday doesn’t think four years will be enough for him to sign an extension.

“I’m not sure how it’s all going to unfold, but obviously I’m honored by the thought of them wanting to sign me to a multiyear deal,” Holliday said. “And four years is a little short for me, for what my personal preference would be. If I was going to sign a (multiyear) contract now, I’d want it to be longer.”
