" British -- it's not to talk some baseball and for that were please be joined by foxsports.com. Senior baseball writer. Ken Rosenthal -- in early June. No one's played better than the Colorado Rockies other rock the best team and actually right now well it's."

" Hard to go against them right now considering what they have done under Jim Tracy. 54 -- 27667. Winning percentage in of course since June 3. They have basically erased a fifteen half game deficit in the NL west. If they complete this comeback it will be greatest in Major League history. But all of that said. The Cardinals right now for me by the best team in the National League and I'll take a lot. Their top three starting pitchers Chris Carpenter Adam Wainwright and -- year. Since July 1 game to those three have started the Cardinals are 28. And three. The starting pitching is among the best in the National League if not the best bullpen with Ryan Franklin as anchor has done an excellent job. Look at their office now holiday Derosa. The twenty games over 500. Again the Rockies are hot. But the Cardinals are very good news."

" Cubs outfielder Milton Bradley back in the news and actually it's got nothing to do -- his play on the field the controversial Bradley has been a big disappointment in his first season with the Cubs. And as he feels hatred from the fans at Wrigley -- Why -- I was Chicago."

" Well there's one very good answer they offer the most money. Three years thirty million. Now Milton Bradley had to know that Chicago wasn't the easiest place to play. The Cubs have this little hundred plus year streak of not winning the World Series. Players such as Jacque Jones and LaTroy Hawkins -- clean about racist comments from the stands in the past. So Bradley options remember he was a free agent. Could have gone back with the Rangers for one year plea for -- Washington low intensity market not so bad he had great success with Texas last year. He also could have signed with Tampa bet. They offer him a two year deal slightly better money than they gave -- which was sixteen million over the two years. The managers Joe Maddon -- to play for another low intensity market. So Milton Bradley has no one to blame but himself for getting into this -- Not simply because of his performance which has not been up to -- but also because of his choice in the first place."

" I like the Dodgers failed to pick up another -- at the trade deadline so how deep around you think LA can make in the post season relying on the current staff. First they have to get to the post season and that is no sure thing they could get passed by the Rockies but they still have."

" A wide margin over the second place wild card team that -- seems fairly secure. That said the question is very pointed and very relevant. They have the pitching to go deep. To right now is bill. Chad Billingsley his velocity is down. Clinton cars are still underpaid restrictions has not been strongly. Roque road it's still on the DL after getting hit in the head with that line drive. Randy Wolf has pitched well but this team really isn't as deep as it should be in the starting rotation even with the addition of Vincente Padilla. Then there was the ball in the bullpen and we all talked about first half could wear down because they were you so heavily. Essentially seeing that happen Ellis. Embedded George Cheryl but even Broxton has said lately that he's not only a 100%. At least in terms of being -- natural this time of year. So I -- it up. I worry about their."

" Hire staff top to bottom. Our Kenny has always we appreciate your site for Ken Rosenthal I'm Randy Sparage facts look at."

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.
