There are some players you have on your team that really just bore the crap out of you. Introducing Carl Pavano…. Not great numbers other than wins and WHIP and in all honesty, he was just an excess piece for me on a pretty bad pitching staff, so I’m pretty down on the guy coming into 2011. He puts up thoroughly unexciting numbers but wins ballgames- so let’s see what all 13 of you reading this think, regardless of where he ends up this offseason:
I think it all depends on where he signs. If you look at his track record, he implodes in the spot light like he did in New York. However, if the reports are true and he returns to the Twins, he should have a fine season. He seems to have trouble being “the man” and in Minnesota, he doesn’t have to be the man, he can thank Joe Mauer for that.
