" Sparage of course is my -- and that's that the baseball fantasy fix presented by Matt auto parts map. Get the good stuff good Democrat all the Florida we're getting into the good parts right we've got him. Injured players that we need to replace will be talking about a guy who's a possible fill in there but we're talking about the guys that are under the radar were heavy in the draft season two weeks. 'til opening day so we need to give people those guys flying under the radar darling in the fantasy sleepers -- first. While there are no sleepers -- just beyond informed in my world but what's helped not ready to start with. Former White Sox third baseman Joe created an element -- yeah bottom line here can he stay healthy. That's it. That's really only NL that comes in here seventeen or more home runs and five in his last six season. He's gone over 23 times thirty once with the White Sox hitting a US cellular field as a call Kaminsky but we'll call it. Up by it's proper name here now he's a guy that has good pop gonna drive in some runs. Can give you have a decent doubles total question is can he play more than a 130 games. That's what they need in Minnesota he does it gets good production for a guy you're gonna draft in the final rounds. At number. For the infamous Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Who was the centerpiece of that Mark Teixeira trade. With Atlanta. The -- now in Texas and maybe this is the year things come together form and are well right now he's the guy salty is the man last year he was on this list. Didn't perform so well for -- only 253 average three home runs spent some time in the minor leagues they gave Gerald Laird. -- the job this year it's heat and Taylor tea garden and right now Saltalamacchia he went any all of his job back by absolutely killing the ball in the Dominican Republic over the -- 3679. Home runs in winter ball to show the dedication and shake off any injury concerns right now he's the guy coming back in. And giving the lack of depth. At the catcher position a guy who give you some good pop. At number three Giants starter Jonathan Sanchez who when healthy. Can dominate. Or any jobs there to sort of be a mentor so. Expect big things from an and I love the damn I just don't think and -- scoring runs but you would look at this guy. One hit per inning a lap right at about averaged fine but also a strike out putting the thing that killed them last year the walks were point 27. Per nine innings pitched that got to come down in a hurry he's got to learn to be a pitcher not a -- live arm and I think he's going to make another step forward we -- Lincecum. And Kahne who -- won more games no run support as ERA was solid Johnson now there to help bring him along and Sanchez a guy who can break down in the -- that your. Number two on -- like Adam Jones who's coming off a great season. While we're looking for even bigger than Trent according to reports -- brought 25 pounds Amal. That -- 25 pounds or what I'm doing well I tell you why did both cook more we'll leave that for another outside -- will will get -- it will start that whole plan back another time but 58 extra base hits 84 RBI in a 101 AAA games in 2000 senate. Last -- some good numbers showed that he could be a five tool for former nine home runs 57 RBI. Ten stolen base. We saw the power in the minors he put on the -- he's going to get an everyday job this year for Baltimore. A guy who Coolidge fly under the radar why cause of the insignia on his hat people just overlooking Baltimore on the -- guys here and he. Knows no captaincy -- The stats don't lie and Jones a guy who I think -- surprised that your. Laughs but -- your sleeper lists the guy with the best serial name in baseball the one the only. -- Chris why don't want to see Coco Crisp and Milton Bradley back together again could be had them. Two of the best names -- that are critical guy we we get back to an every day plays and on line up. Last year decent numbers as a part time player and -- and as a guy twenty or more stole mason for the last five seasons I'm hoping that the every day playing time -- kids he's got a lot of you the power numbers come back out as a two year starter I'm in Cleveland. He hit 31 home run over two year period was a pretty solid doubles rate a guy who's gonna hit 280 to 290. Again because he's playing Kansas City got a call on draft -- little further than -- he should. Given the fact that he probably 2525. Guys potentially in the waiting here and you'll be of that. Boston Fenway Park pressure -- well that's the other thing -- get to go out and play but you've got a young lineup their guy starting to come of age. With Alex Gordon and Billy Butler and company I think there's some good things ahead for Kansas City and to be -- talk about Boston's -- is -- getting into them a little bit is that Jed Lowrie guy who's been on the radar now with Julio Lugo going down because of the knee surgery wiry guy who's gonna get a shot there -- looking at a decent average maybe stole -- and a little bit of pop that huge production. But a nice guy to fill the gap for three to four weeks in the event that you're going to deep enough -- that uses a guy like Lugo as a utility."

" My comment covering all the breaks and we don't why don't know match around maybe I love that. Good stuff that's going to do this edition of the fantasy fix that by NAPA Auto Parts Napa get the good stuff from my comment I'm Randy Sparage thanks look at --"

I'll talk about first timlin -- the biggest case of all the arbitration eligible players in 2010. The setup though in 2008 when Ryan Howard . That gave the Philadelphia Phillies . And 110 million dollar arbitration victory the biggest victory in history of arbitration . For first time eligible player. Tim Lincecum is soon gonna break that record once he goes into the boardroom what the club estimated they limited number of eight million dollars. The players -- number of thirteen million dollars. Now the arbitration panel of three when they're done here in the case we'll have to either pick eight million or thirteen million they can't pick a number in between. But it Ryan Howard . He went and it is award with -- MVP and a rookie of the year award. And he got ten million. Tim Lincecum is gonna walk into the room with two Cy Young awards. Our record of 4217. You walk is -- to award a record of 4217. I think he's gonna get paid more than Ryan Howard hit the San Francisco Giants are forced to walk into the arbitration room they have three alternatives. The first one is to settle the case in the Rome. If they can get a deal
we think he should be the highest paid pitcher ever -- arbitration . We agree this guys want to -- down so we agree his record of forty and seventeen is amazing. It's 676. Strikeouts as a star but then make it an industry case and try to argue the fact. That eight million dollars a year will be more than an. Any pictures ever made history of baseball the first time eligible and that that numbers more appropriate than another record which would be thirteen million dollars. A look at the arbitration records over the last five years the owners have won seventeen case that the players have won ten. Does that mean the clubs have won. No it doesn't the players have actually won because every year they win that one case. That changes the entire market for the next class the following year so even this year they lose all cases if they win the Tim Lincecum case. They really well one of arbitration . Because the bar will look instead at a new level for all future arbitration cases. -- the history of salary arbitration . It started in 1974. When Reggie Jackson broke the record in arbitration waited about a 135000. Dollars. Then in 2008 Ryan Howard get the ten million dollars award and in 2010. Might call that Tim Lincecum gonna win his case. At thirteen million dollars so we've gone from a 13501974. To thirteen million in 2010. That's arbitration process has worked for the players.
