Holliday on keeping Pujols: 'A tough deal'

In St. Louis, the hope of spring training is tempered somewhat by a cloud hanging overhead. With less than three weeks remaining until position players report to the Cardinals complex in Jupiter, Fla., Matt Holliday is one of several Cardinals hoping a deal is in place before they arrive. "No doubt," Holliday said. "I'm very hopeful that both sides will be able to come to an agreement. I know it's a very difficult contract as far as his place in the game and what the Cardinals can do, but I hope to be his teammate for the rest of both of our careers. That would be real nice, but it's a tough deal."
