" Over a lot Randy Sparage of course is my -- and welcome to the fantasy fix that by NAPA Auto Parts Napa. Get the good stuff and Mike Scioscia went through the All-Star break on game of art up however into the second half of -- starter panic she would get guys start to heat up. Some of those old familiar face is really bring in the bat. Pitching wise he and Pedro Martinez come back to -- For the Atlanta things to -- and doubles are the guys were doing things right Matt Holliday swinging a hot that you want to probably good news for the a's who might be trying to trade I was gonna say he's a guy do when an audition right now it."

" one of the things first half he music guy we were afraid of coming into the season bigger ballpark take about a Colorado what effect going to have he also changed his batting stroke swing. And he went back to it over the break took a lot of work in the cage he's come out hammered three home runs ten RBI 400 batting average in the week that we've been back in the second half the one thing is seen as he's driving the ball go and all fields. That's what we remember from Matt Holliday during his best years in Colorado now it's question of where we end up -- sisco possible team looking Brabant. Package some of those young starters a what have you but there's a guy that right now if you bought low you're in pretty good. So let me get this straight to pick up a guy he puts up big numbers -- era. I don't get it. If you aren't sure remember is that what prospects are what they do an Oakland what do Clayton -- on other got I think I had -- they would sport I think we go under my bed. From this offseason there's a guy I was pounding the pavement telling people to go in draft early I don't know. 063 ERA with 42 strike out last -- walk rate -- little bit too high but you know what he's young. He's learned and he blows you away with and I haven't mile an hour -- who cares -- Shaw guy get it done -- many runners back in that lineup the bats are hot. In Los Angeles finally Jorge Della -- a guy that. It's still unknown and about 65% of leagues why because he's got a Colorado attack but I've been out 273. ERA in his last five starts. God he's working deep into games and he's eating innings for fantasy owners walk rate again a little high but I'll take the two to one strikeout to walk ratio overall and right now again a team where the bats are giving them a little more support than at work earlier in the season. Are out of the Dodds the guys have a tough time right now Blue Jays second baseman Aaron Hill was an All-Star starter but. He's had a tough times in the Oscar for twenty home runs in the first half. Wonder which which of these guys run out of gas a little bit plane the next couple days with the plane trips whenever kill out of the gate. -- games or seven you haven't batting average does drive in one run does have a stolen base which gives you a little bit a lot of -- for your middle infield but again. Give it time the battle come back for him not -- got -- struggling. I -- to do it second half Jason Bay in Boston another monster first athletic -- that just probably needed an extra day off than they got. Being in his last nine games going back before the -- 143. One RBI that's not we expect inspected and probable. Any other -- so those two guys are going to look at Joe Saunders. The Angels one of those teams that were looking at will they make a deal. Obviously be -- by injuries -- the starting rotation all throughout the first half but the as a guy who started the season strongly. Has really scuffle of late last four starts and 990 ERA. You're looking at more walk and strike out sixteen to nine ratio going the wrong way as I'm going to get it done particularly when you've got. Some injuries on the offensive end as well you not get the big run support you expect once again my friend you bring your game blocked him low bed or ready from the fracture on."

" You are dot that's good to look for this edition of the fantasy fix that -- by NAPA Auto Parts Napa. Get the good stuff from Michael I'm ready Sparage banks looking."

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.
