Carl Pavano's South Florida Return?

[Namaste]

This thread is making me LOL so hard. Really.

BonifacioSuperFan#1 is advising that Pavano is garbage because his ERA is in the 5's.

Like I said, he is a better #5 option (didnt say top of the rotation guy) than we currently have.

[Metes]

I'm sorry I dont get how anyone could want this guy.

He's 8-8 with a 5.66 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP

Because everything we've gotten out of the fifth-ish starter spot has been a lot better

Miller (4.81 ERA, 1.552 WHIP)
West (4.91 ERA, 1.473 WHIP)
Sanchez (5.55 ERA, 1.766 WHIP)

I don't even want to look at the bags of crap we called up for spot starts.

U guys realize at the most he would cost us a Kevin Mattison,Brandon Todd,Greg Burns??

He is a cheap option who could start or pitch in long relief

[nny]

Would also set us up nicely to re-sign him I'd think

or it'd have no impact

one or the other

I'll wait for that to be the case... Better chance it's a solid arm ala Eric Basurto (who we moved for Gload)

No one wants any of the 3 listed above (I realize you were just throwing out names)

I hate that you do sports for a living and know nothing about them

Thank you for the analysis that my mother could give me

Pavano would likely be better than any other 5th starter the team would run out this year, and if he's re-signed in the offseason he fits in nicely as a #4-#5 guy who gives the team flexibility this offseason in terms of dealing someone like Volstad, West, or RVH for a corner INF/OF bat or, more likely, packaging one of them with one of hte arby guys to increase the return.

And Pavano probably wouldn't cost more than a B-/C+ spec (Aaron Thompson? Not sure I'd give up Tucker for Pavano, but I'd probably be ok with shipping off Thompson if he's just going to be a lefty reliever, which it looks like he will be.). So it's not like a Pavano deal would mean the organization would be mortgaging the future in order to win now.

Even if the team moves Cody (which would be dumb, because they can afford him on a $40 mil payroll next year, but whatever) or Hermida for prospects/Rhodes, bringing in Pavano is a solid idea, both for this year and potentially next season.

Depends on the spec we are giving up, I wouldnt be for Tucker for him (anyway we can get them to take Allison?) I doubt he has any value really though.

I guess depends on the cost but more salary they eat the higher the spec will be needed sadly.

It won't be Thompson,I would say if they are paying his salary we would be looking at sending them a Class A arm and if not would say AAA or AA arm who is older but less of a prospect They want younger pitching tho
