Out of Walker's hands -- for now

Just spoke with Todd Walker's agent, Brian Carlin, after they presented their side in their arbitration hearing with the San Diego Padres.

Carlin seemed happy with their presentation before leaving Walker's 2007 salary in the hands of a three-person arbitration panel.

Tomorrow, we'll find out how Walker fared in a season where the owners entered Tuesday's cases -- Washington closer Chad Cordero was the other -- with a 4-1 lead over the players.
