" I'm Bryan -- it's not it's not baseball that we bring in foxsports.com. Senior baseball writer Ken Rosenthal cat lets start north of the border with a Blue Jays have got off to a good start all the reasons to believe they can contend."

" For the division title in the at least."

" You know I wouldn't go that far Bryant just yet fact I wouldn't go that -- at any point. But the Blue Jays off dormant for ten years -- only has reply. Beckett in the majors in runs scored in large part because the emergence is Adam they've -- Travis -- Let's not forget. Aaron Hill being back those questions at second base is huge factor -- offensively and he had. All that they had their pitching is way too young behind right allies. It got some talent back there Ricky Romero in the respect that I hit it Troy Tulowitzki if he is back to give it to good starts so far. We've got young starting pitching chances are going to be up to doubted that it. I don't imagine that the Blue Jays just -- fairway -- Uncle and."

" On the flip side the Red Sox have started slowly the club recently placed pitcher -- on the fifteen day DL how concerned should Boston be about Daisuke."

" Not terribly concerned that seem to be it it's Bryant more of the heat in injury. He's got a mild right -- and manager Terry Francona that flat out I don't think there's an injury. Now I gave you -- out of 88 miles per hour Tuesday night at what working normally is. And of course there's talk about the WBZ impacting what he did. Let's face it. When the Red Sox signed Matt he was coming off the first WBZ which it was -- the they were well aware that he probably would participate in this second WP the it would it would be MVP again."

" Finally the Mariners sitting atop the NL west should Seattle fans get excited by the quick start."

" You know what -- my inclination is to say no but there are reasons for excitement here. The main one is the new manager Don lock -- we've given that he positive energy very unhealthy approach. Bench coach -- in Berkeley go to another high energy guy very positive and upbeat. Also came Griffey junior might swing some veteran they've brought over seem to help what was a very fractured clubhouse. But the real reason why can't there can be excited is the pitch. I don't believe the Mariners offense is going to be very good right now if that Felix Hernandez of the top of the rotation. Resurgent Erik Bedard. Went down Carlos Silva. Jarrod Washburn was better than he has in quite some time. The ball and they've also added to your heart -- Brandon Morrow who now but we'll observe in showing Kelly another kid who seems to have made this statement thus -- In a position that right now is kind of wide open given angel's injury problems. Seattle Mariners do some things earlier these. I don't expect to be a playoff team and expect their fans alike what they see."

" A lot more and thanks for the insight -- your baseball needs to blog on the foxsports.com. I'm Bryan Webber will he next time."

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.
