The Official Site of The Philadelphia Phillies: News: Howard wins arbitration hearing

He's getting the $10 mil he asked for, which is a record for a first-year arbitration case. wow

Wow, I am surprised. I didn't think he'd because he's a first year. I mean, he's deserves big money, but its just his first year. This could have an effect on future cases with players similar to him

Pujols only got $7mil his first and no way he's better than Pujols was. Howard is a lucky SOB!

Well, taking into account inflation, and the fact that they're basing it off of Howard's 2005...which included 58 Homeruns, a number that Pujols has never reached, it's a high total, but not absurd.
