This went down because the Twins were stupid enough to agree to take him. Pavano is SO done.

I wouldn't say the Twins were dumb...desperate maybe. Their starting pitching has been a huge disappointment, especially Liriano. As inconsistent as Pavano has been he's an upgrade over a couple of the Twins starters.

Man, that's bad when Pavano is an upgrade over anything. I hear you about Liriano, though. A few years ago this guy looked like one of if not the best up-and-coming pitchers in all of baseball. I don't know if it was the surgery or what, but what happened?!

Yeah he had the Tommy John surgery I think...they say that it takes a guy a year or two to come back fully from that. If he can get back to 75% of what he was pre-surgery I'd be happy!

"why indians dumped pavano..."

BECAUSE HE SUCKS

I hope he has a little left in the tank, but I'm afraid you are probably right. He starts today against the Tigers and he's been pretty good against them.

Pavano's better then the 2 guys the Yankees picked up (Russ Ortiz and some stiff with a 5 ERA in SanDiego). He would have gotten lynched in NY but he's still better then those two.
I'm going to go to the bathroom and take a Pavano.

Didn't he pull a muscle in his butt getting out of his SUV while on the DL for the Yankees and miss like 5 extra months because of it? Come on who needs anyone who does that

As everyone knows, Pavano owns the AL Central this year. He will be a Tiger killer for the Twins. Great move!

That's a disgusting headline.

Who took a dump on who?

The Indians dropped a Cleveland Steamer on the Twins.

and big papi dropped a boston pancake on his fans.

Will the Twins take Livian Hernandez & or Tim Redding?

I say "if it's broke, fix it or trade the deadwood" !!! I hope Cleveland is back in contention in a year or two or three !!!

Good move for Cleveland. Pick up a guy off the scrap heap and trade him for a younger prospect. I about screamed when I heard that the Tribe signed Pavano. It looks like the "Cash for Clunkers" program is alive & well in MLB.

His ERA Vs. the Tigers is under 2.0. The Twins have a bunch of games left Vs. the Tigers....

Pavano just threw seven shutout innings against the Tigers.

This is why it was good pick-up for the Twins. They could still make a run for it, considering 88 wins will likely take the AL Central.

One trade I'm not unhappy about at all. Like DeRosa, Pavano was a hired gun to help the Indians fill out thier rotation and maybe compete. Even though the compete part didn't happen, he actaully performed better than the rest of the team, so getting something for him is a good deal . Helps both teams, espceailly if the Twins take the division, or at least stay competetive down the sretch and draw more fans. .
