That was totally worth it, wasn't it George? Four years, $40 million...and 19 starts and a 5-7 record. The Carl Pavano era in the Bronx was many things - humorous, sad, regrettable - but it definitely wasn't cheap. Now it's over. What is there to say, really? He's due up for Tommy John surgery any day now, meaning he won't pitch any more this year and probably not next year. That means the Yankees are probably going to cut ties with his gimp ass. Brian Cashman isn't quite ready to say the club is cutting him a check and sending him a cardboard box with his stuff in it, but...
"We're looking at the realistic possibility that he won't pitch for us anymore."
Even an ace with little-to-no histoy of elbow issues would be hard-pressed to make a strong return from Tommy John sugergy by the second half of the 2008 season. Pavano not only has a history of elbow issues, but shoulder, back and rib issues, too. Not so good, Carl, not so good.
