How about just the boot? El Duque might be too much for my blood. At least he pitched a couple of times a year before this one. Pavano essentially has been DL’d for the entire length of his 4 year contract.

Whoa! Somebody said that?!? Hey, hey, now, let’s not say things we can’t take back! Yeeesh! (tugs collar nervously.) I don’t know about Heilman as a starter, we should sit down and talk about this before someone does something rash!

except I don’t think the Mets would be giving away any future AL strikeout leaders for Pavano. Look, if they had given up some no-name AA prospect for Zambrano, would anyone care about that trade? No, it would have been seen as a decent attempt that didn’t work out. I wouldn’t mind doing the same for Pavano, but I wouldn’t give up anyone that looks like they even have a shot at being a good major leaguer.

He hasn’t made 4 starts in how many years and you want him to make 4 starts n a pennant race. There really are people who would make worse GMs than Minaya. Congrats!

Ironic in the sense that a man with no arms has an itch on his b-u-t-t and can’t scratch it.

sure sign him up, so he can join the rest of the team on the DL.

But it would be ironic, as it was Pavano who was the key to the deal for Pedro to the Bo Sox.
