Ryan Howard won his arbitration case with the Phillies on Thursday. His win set a record for first year arbitration eligible players. Howard received a record setting $10 million when the Phillies were offering him $7 million. The good thing is that now Howard will not enter free agency until after 2011. The bad thing is that now he is going to want a bigger contract than Albert Pujols.
Ryan, I love you and I think you do great things but cut down on the K’s, improve your D, and lead us to a world series win and then you can make Pujols kind of money.
I would like to apologize for my recent absence. I have been recovering from shoulder surgery. I wanted to get in touch with Kris Benson a little better and had surgery to repair the labrum in my right shoulder. Now hopefully in a year I will be pitching in the majors.
