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.
