Why is this worth posting, as Pet said "it's just a formality"? Pete used that description for Moose's filing; Pavano's is something entirely different. Carl Pavano was paid a lot of money to get hurt. He liked getting hurt, and the most egregious example, I think, was his Florida Porsche accident in 2006. Pavano obviously wanted the check but not the work in Pinstripes. Good riddance. See ya, wouldn't want to be ya. Johnny…

He wasn’t even injured, as I remember, but he played like it. ------------------ True! I forgot that he was a free agent as well... I'm sure there are many other who will reset easier now that the Idol saga has ended. I would argue he's the worst NYY Free agent signing. But is he the worst of all time? Worst than the Rangers signing of Justin Thompson,which I believe might be the worst of all time? Anybody remember Steve Kemp? He wasn’t even injured, as I remember, but he played like it.

The more Moose talk there is - or the more Moose hasn't retired - the more psyched I get. Being an optimist by nature, I reason that there would be no reason for Moose to file for free agency if he was sure he was going to retire. I’m not going to lie to you.
