" Cushion in -- alongside Ken Rosenthal the Yankees eliminate the Angels were gonna take a look. And get -- perspective on what happens next for the Angels a lot of free agent questions heading into the offseason how do you see things playing up to Bayless. Tough to say Christian but they have four major free agents Vladimir Guerrero of course is one. I would not expect him to resign but he is a favorite of owner Marty Marino's so you never know Bobby Abreu. The Angels already have made him a series of offers to -- offers he -- three years. Chone Figgins may be the most interest thing overall in -- give a tough post season and -- he means so much to this team. And also he's going to be in serious demanded the leadoff hitter. Conceivably Christian could even end up with the Yankees replacing Johnny Damon in left field leading off with Jeter moving back to the second spot. Finally John Lackey. John Lackey means a lot this team as well but the Angels fear than his price is going to be too high. He's going to want at least what AJ Burnett got last off season as a free agent. Five years 82 point five million. Speed of -- how will. His relationship was so should be affected after what happened on the mound when he got yanked earlier in this series -- that play any role he think no I don't believe it will and the reason is that's not the first time. Every time like so she takes to come Lackey out of a game he essentially did that response. To not in such a public place so clearly. The issue with black he's going to be money and where they can afford. My social wants the pitchers could lose John Lackey on his team back to Vlad really quick DC and maybe taken a deal that Bobby Abreu took to be with a team this year. Good question because he is a guy that is going awhile more I'm sure he's Vladimir Guerrero he is certainly up strong Hall of Fame candidate. And the problem with him is that -- it was strictly a DH at this point. Those guys -- tough to fit in. In the past Sosa has like to rotate his DH but he can't get back -- Marino he loves -- Guerrero. -- Guerrero bounced back this post season had some huge hits so this is going to be really interest me it seems he got -- nearing its. Handles this offseason can thank you so much and we're here for the World Series game one. On Wednesday on fox."

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.
