I received copies of briefs from past TBJ arb hearings that weren't marked "confidential" and saw briefs from other clubs' hearings that, if they were confidential, I should never have received.Keith Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02099157607978191239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-25791969577344825672008-01-28T18:12:00.000-05:002008-01-28T18:12:00.000-05:00If so, don't arbitration hearings have some sort o...<I> If so, don't arbitration hearings have some sort of confidentiality requirement, and has Hendricks violated it by disclosing the arguments used to trash Lopez? These are the sorts of questions that get drilled into your brain after being a lawyer for ten years.</I><BR/><BR/>Nah. Every year there will be a few post-arbitration stories in the news that talk broadly about what was said in the hearings. The arbitrators can't talk about the hearings or their awards, but the parties can. There was a teeny SABR-ripple when a team used a metric kinda like Hardball Times Wins Added in a hearing a couple years ago or talk about what was said in the Todd Walker hearing last year when the Pads canned him immediately after he won his case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-47838800947581396102008-01-28T17:24:00.000-05:002008-01-28T17:24:00.000-05:00I'm not going to drill down into the arcania of th...I'm not going to drill down into the arcania of this, but the AP ( or the version of it I saw on a Cdn web site ) reports that the Hendricks' say:<BR/><BR/>"Clemens' longevity was due to his ability to adjust his style of pitching as he got older, incorporating his very effective split-finger fastball to offset the decrease in the speed of his regular fastball caused by aging,"<BR/><BR/>I've thought for years - and I'm hardly alone - that Clemens started scuffing / cutting / doctoring the ball, whatever you want to call it, post Boston. I have no problem with that either, and I've disliked Clemens for many years.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and he was also dirty, but get in line.<BR/><BR/>Christ is this guy consumed with his legacy or what?Eric Tomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00632341548970196518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-85023352860510800252008-01-28T15:44:00.000-05:002008-01-28T15:44:00.000-05:00A very helpful reader -- who is way more savvy tha...A very helpful reader -- who is way more savvy than I (faint praise, I know) -- forwarded me a copy of a Word version courtesy of some nifty software.<BR/><BR/>I would have gone back and put up the actual quotes, but I just haven't had the time.
