Either way, it is what it is." |

| February 10, 2008 Ryan Howard appears headed to arbitration as he and the Phils still cannot bridge the gap between the $10 million he asked for and the $7 million that was offered. The hearing is scheduled for February 20th. This whole thing seems stupid. The only reason Howard is in this spot is cause the team needlessly blocked his ascension to the majors with Jim Thome or he would likely have two more season's under his belt. Regardless, things could get ugly in the arbitration process so why not just sign the slugger to a huge deal and be done with it? If it doesn't get worked out, look for Howard to take out his frustration on opposing pitchers this season. Philadelphia Enquirer |
