J B was in a fight in our Hometown of Bay City. A former classmate approached him and words were exchanged and cox broke his hand in the altercation. The guy he hit was really being a punk that night.

I agree with Donnie. I think Pavano comes back with a vengence.

not sure about 14 games… that may be a stretch.
but I think he will come back and pitch well.

he HAS to. And not for the Yankees’ sake, but for his own.
he’s looked at the market this year.

he KNOWS that he’s in the last two years of his own contract. And he’s playing FOR the team that, if he succeeds, will give him the potential for MORE.

I say he comes back, and plays sharp. He’ll work his way up to the upper half of the rotation by next year, I say. (Moose or Andy will come down to #3 or lower.)

my prediction.

[...] I’d link to the George King article, but I think this one does a better job of summing it up: Carl Pavano may actually pitch today. And he’s he’s heading to Spring Training as an active player, not a rehab case. [...]

I have made the bold prediction in my office that Carl Pavano will win 14 games for the NY Yankees in 2007.

[...] Reportedly, he’s been rehabbing in Arizona in order to hit Spring Training in playing condition. Brian Cashman says that Pavano will go like everyone else, not as a rehab case. [...]

Sarcasm goes right over Daves head. At all times.

Stormy – your right their rotation was bad last yr. But the two major guys who change that (if it is changed next season) are probably going to be Daisuke and Papelbon who were not starters for them last yr. Those are the two that have the potential to be aces. Whether they do that or not is a completely different question.

yea i suck at recognizing sarcasm online – its not that easy. And some people might actually think in terms of starting pitching that the yanks are the underdogs – its not a stretch to say the redsox staff looks slightly better this yr. Who cares what the sox have? When we are relying on pavano and a guy who our own GM said may be a back of the rotation guy as number four and five for the first couple of months of the season, alot of 4 and 5 guys on other rotations look better than ours.

But the Red Sox’s starters’ ERAs were terrible:

Schilling: 3.97.
Beckett: 5.01.
Wakefield: 4.63.
Lester: 4.76.
Clement: 6.61.
Synder: 6.02.

(Matsuzaka had a great ERA, but in Japan.)

Stormy,

You are absolutely right. No one expects a great season from Pavano, so most fans will be pleased if he turns in a league-average season. Plus, in light of the silly contracts given to Meche and Lilly, Pavano would practically be a bargain if he turned in the numbers you gave.

My hope for Carl is 175 innings, 4.50 ERA.
