Pavano's Future

I shouldn't be writing this, not because it's about Pavano, but because I am "stealing" work time. Hopefully my supervisor doesn't come around. Good thing for multiple windows so with a click of the button, POOF, I am doing something else.

Anyway, back to the story that has not yet begun.
Carl Pavano was a promising pitcher that the Yankees picked up and threw in their starting five. However, injuries landed him on a DL that seemed to never end. A shoulder injury gave him his first trip, a ball off his face gave him another trip, and the finale was a bat in the gut. Blunt end thankfully.
He was basically a medical waste of money, not his fault, just was playing the wrong season at the wrong time.
His spring training debut proved outstanding. Yes he gave up a home run, but all pitchers do, besides, the Yankees were shut out anyway. Pavano's first batter sent a little dribbler back to him in which he himself fielded and made a stumbling diving tag at first. Everyone enjoyed the odd moment along with Pavano himself.

His Future:
If Pavano can stay healthy and pitcher like he was healthy, he will have no problem in New York, however, if he gets pounded with injuries or his arm acts up, then the Yankees are in trouble and need to look for a pitcher FAST. Wang is still a baby, Johnson is close to retirement, Mussina just isn't Mussina, and Chacon needs to settle down. Small will be great in middle relief, along with Sturtz as a DOOP* pitcher, Farnsworth and Rivera will provide a powerful one-two game ending punch.

Stay tuned...

    I agree, the Yankees pitching is weak, but thier line up could be one oif the most feared in history and will defiently dominate the stats. Expect to see some high scoring games this season.
