You know what are your thoughts when you first heard the news. Well you know public everyone else I was shocked that is going to help bigger blow it's going to be the Dodgers with you know that kind of by the rules in place. As far as him not being in the lineup though that's an advantage for the nationals and it offensive that's an eventual lot of things he. There was a little power production with the -- one here -- their you know. -- the good players. We've built built -- agreements. -- at the nationals are off to a great offenses start and it might not show up in the record but. You being in certain -- the lineup I mean these guys around you -- great pitches is that sometimes frustrating to be in your position they're pitching around you to get to the other guys. Well I wouldn't say that it's -- I would you know. You pitching carefully. Careful is probably better word you know. I pretty much knows how to -- teams are going to pitch him and you know for the most -- it was announced that you visited this I didn't. As far as you know and new teammates things like that you gotta kinda know their. A little quirks in the outfield you're switching from right field the left field and things like that as a difficult."

And it to me it's -- Feel really -- there it's it's it's beautiful part that's. Great place is cool to see guys like -- teammate Ryan Zimmerman go through hitting streak like this have you ever had when that long. I've never know -- he sniffed at but Nazi but that's huge accomplishment and I. Again that's something that's the final talk to a team would smear tactics but is his duplicate hitters and but that's nuts it's pretty amazing like."

" Well your pretty good company would be -- on the forty home run per season deal or are you trying to break that record this year -- another forty home -- season.

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.
