ST. LOUIS — Matt Holliday hopes to be teammates with Albert Pujols for a long time.

“I think he’s going to be here at least two more years and hopefully forever,” Holliday said yesterday after finalizing his $120 million, seven-year contract with the St. Louis Cardinals. “Hopefully, he’ll be here for the rest of his career and we can do some damage.”

Coming off his third NL MVP award, Pujols is entering the final guaranteed season of a $100 million, seven-year contract that includes a $16 million team option for 2011.
