" I'm Brian Webber's spotted dog baseball for that would please be joined by foxsports.com senior baseball writer Ken Rosenthal candy Cleveland Indians five manager. Eric Wedge will lessen the -- to go in the season why did memo now."

" That is they really good question. If fact I was talking with a couple of former players yesterday and they thought the timing with absolutely ridiculous. Basically the point being made is what is a player's supposed to think. When he's playing -- duck manager and no wind up coaching staff the final week of the season. I'm not really stories that -- deal. Let's face everyone knew Eric Wedge in trouble. Eric Wedge wanted -- early resolution. And frankly the way he put it he wanted to finish the job and so and his coaches. So while the timing certainly is. I don't know that it was going this rough or -- disrupt the Indians any more than they already were disrupted. After a miserable season. What matters beyond hot during the season. Well there are two managers who clearly on a hot team right now. Gave -- of the Baltimore Orioles. If -- wanted to keep him as manager beyond this season I would think they would already have said that. And yet they have not said a word about his status. An odd situation. Charlie can not be held responsible for the failings of this team in most competitive division in baseball. But for whatever reason in the Orioles are inclined to make it changed. Perhaps they have someone better in mind but as I've written -- as I said I'd like to know who that person it. I don't know that they've friendly is a great match. The trend and here but I don't know all those that he deserves his fate what appears to be likely fate here. Derailment of the nationals slightly different story. He's an interim manager and while the general manager Mike -- told me today that -- is a legitimate candidate for the job. It certainly would appear that the nationals need -- fresh approach someone from the outside. Couple of names to keep in mind would be some people that result worked with in Arizona. Not talking about Buck Showalter. Talk enough former Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin and two of their current coaches chip hale and Kirk Gibson. You've heard a lot about Showalter a lot about Bobby Valentine possibly -- it DC. But I'll believe that after going to spend big money on a manager when I see it."

" Boston Red Sox are bumbling their way into the playoffs but second baseman Dustin Pedroia says he likes -- chances in the post season do you know. I'll give -- a better answer after this weekend. After we -- Lester pitches coming off the bruised quad. After we see how Beckett does coming up to three partial cortisone injections after we -- one more time. The Red Sox certainly have all the pieces and while they've lost six straight going into Thursday's play really not played very well at all. Look at what Terry Francona said last night when you have instead. They're not at all concerned because they know. That the way you're playing going into the post season hardly ever translates into the what you actually perform once the bright lights go on October. Different game entirely. The Cardinals Dodgers and the Phillies in the National League also were stumbling right now and none of those teams should be particularly worried either. Cake and we appreciate that opened up foxsports.com. Magic number for all your baseball needs throughout the World Series for Brian will. --"

" It's October 16."

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.
