Watch the role that threatened Houston just all the guys -- I mean literally rolled the dice."

" Way Houston street the question with him as he keeps the ball up you look at that a lot of fly ball by. Strikeout to walk ratio in his career three point five to one he definitely knows how to get hitters out. I -- Corpas comes in the spring dropped twenty LBs I'm working on a -- had a couple more pitches to their repertoire snapping off. I slider better and and really being affected so far one point 29 ERA in the seventh spring appearances. I think -- the winner out of camp. But corpus is going to factor important okay let's talk catchers the Mariners have a from behind the plate we've been -- to be the opening day backstop it's going to be Kenji. Yours -- and the reason for that 24 reasons point four million dollars that they owe him you know with Clement what they're looking at is you've got a guy with a big bat. Not ready to catch every day just yet he got Griffey who's going to take over some of those DH if that's so they're better putting Clement down in the finally more seasoning. It was about really trying to rebound that to 27 batting average a year ago he'd been into eighty hitter before I think he can bounce back. Let out of starting pitching a ball to Brad Penny still would have arm issues as that's just a Clay Buchholz could be the fifth start -- certainly -- phenomenal this spring. We were six ERA in his appearances a penny finally got to the hill three shutout innings. I think it's pennies job to lose I think you -- look at -- going in the middle relief and being that stopper when penny inevitably goes to the DL."

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.
