" Plans to conduct eight to ten phone interviews -- managerial opening. Then bringing three to five finalists by the third week in October. Bobby Valentine will be on the short list he almost certainly will get an interview. Buck Showalter on the other hand will not. For now the Indians are proceeding as if John Farrell the Red Sox pitching coach will not be a candidate. That however could change quickly if Farrell expresses interest in the job. At that point. The Indians and the other parties involved the Red Sox and Farrell would need to negotiate a way out of the clause and Farrell's contract. That prevents him from accepting a managerial position at 2010. I think Josh Johnson long term is the marlins' number one priority this off season. To get a deal done the Marlins will need to exceed significantly. The four years 38 million dollar contract that the Royals awarded Zack Greinke. It was at a similar service level last offseason. Now if no deal gets done -- and almost certainly will not sign a long term contract after next season. We will be only one year away from free agency. At that point the Marlins wouldn't trade him. -- is out as Padres general manager and the question is who will be in. Pulled the Podesta the Dodgers from former GM in the special assistant with the Padres is not interested in becoming the pods GM. Pat Gillick the former Phillies in Blue Jays GM also does not figure to be candidate. Gillick is accustomed to working with high payroll teams and the Padres are anything but. The leading candidate here figures to be Diamondbacks executive Jerry to photo. But the Padres will need approval from the commissioner's office to get him. Padres CEO Jeff -- left the Diamondbacks only last December. The commissioner's office frowns upon executives reading of former team's front office talent. But in the photos case already has interviewed for GM opening is with the nationals and the Mariners. It would be difficult for the Diamondbacks and -- much of life. Alford is well intentioned when he says that he is interested in signing with the -- long term. The problem is -- probably will not offer him enough to keep him from becoming a free agent at the season. The bigger question is twins catcher Joe Mauer who also is eligible to hit the market after the 2010 season. Howard sold the York times this week that he is not interested in becoming the game's highest paid player even though he probably deserves to be that -- He is represented by one to Harrell and Michael lost the same agent at cal Ripken in Baltimore for his entire career.

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.
