Totally cribbing Grey's joke from earlier.

But what do we make of Carl Pavano so far this year?

The overall line right now is ugly- 5.50 ERA, 1.42 WHIP.
But his peripherals looks pretty solid so far- 46 Ks, 13 BB in 55.2 IP. 7.44 K/9, 3.54 K/BB.

And if you take away his first start at Texas, when he got bombed for 9 ER, it makes the ERA a much more palatable 4.12.

I'm not expecting Pavano to ever revert to his 2004 form, but is it possible he becomes a decent FA pick up as a back end of the rotation starter?

Hard to say without knowing your league depth (you can put your team in your signature), but I wouldn't pick him up outside of matchups.

Added the team to my signature.

My pitching has been terrible all season. I've been suffering through Manny Parra, Nolasco, and a whole bunch of other bums.

With Uehara hitting the DL, I have an open roster spot and was wondering about Pavano.
I also have a waiver claim in for Gil Meche, dropping Joe Nelson.

Thanks!

I'd want Meche over Pavano, but if you have room I could see grabbing Carl.
