A Steaming Pile of...

....Carl Pavano

Two days ago, Pavano underwent "Tommy John" surgery to repair the collateral ligament in his right elbow. He'll be out for the next 12 to 18 months, effectively ending his subpar Yankees career. This injury is the latest in a long, long list of injuries that Pavano had during his short Yankees career.

From June 27, 2005 to throughout the entire 2006 season, Pavano was on the DL with shoulder, back, elbow, rib and buttock injuries - no doubt due to the buttplug that is cemented permanently in his butt.

I must admit that when Pavano signed with his 4 year, $39.95 million contract I was excited. He was a great pitcher with the Florida Marlins. He was young. He was the future star starting pitcher. And I wasn't alone in these assumptions. ...Numerous teams, including the hated dirtbag empire Boston Red Sox, were trying to sign him as well. But the Yankees won the bidding war for Pavano's services. ...And I thought that Pavano would be a fixture at the top of the Yankees Starting Rotation for years to come. That was the wrong assumption. ...

As all that Pavano's $40 million contract would bring them would be a record of 5-6 in 19 starts with the Yankees. And it's all guaranteed despite his injuries and lack of production. That's hideous.

Good riddance Carl Pavano! Thanks for stealing the Yankees money.
