Carl Pavano Wants Three Years Carl Pavano, RHP, free agent — Pavano elected to go slowly in negotiations and let the market play out, so there was no deal before Christmas. Now what? Well, he remains the top free agent pitcher on the market and will hold out for three years. A lot of teams are interested, including Minnesota, Washington, Texas, and possibly Seattle if it can free up some money. If people were scared of giving 6-7 years to a 32-year-old Cliff Lee, then there should be something similarly off-putting about the idea of giving three years to a 35-year-old Carl Pavano. He's a control-first guy, which is an attribute that seems to give him a better chance of aging okay relative to a high-strikeout pitcher, but he enjoyed a BABIP that was 22 points removed from his career average last season, the highest ground ball rate of his career, and the highest left-on-base percentage of his career -- this in spite of no apparent changes in his stuff or approach compared to the year before. If he's using last year as a basis for demanding $10-12 million guaranteed over three years, well, that's a problem. Now, that isn't to say that Pavano couldn't help Texas next season, or that I'm completely averse to the thought of the Rangers signing him. He's posted 4.00ish FIPs with 200-220 innings in back-to-back seasons, and there's something appealing about that, but my overriding concern is how he would perform in the second and third years of a deal when he's 36-37 years old and pitching in a hitter-friendly environment with that injury history. 資料來源:Baseball Time In Arlington http://www.bbtia.com/the-clubhouse/2010/12/28/carl-pavano-wants-three-years .html Pavano我覺得不太適合我們隊形啦~~ -- 2010 Texas Rangers Postseason Franchise Roster (SP)Cliff Lee (C)Benjie Molina (1B)Mitch Moreland (2B)Ian Kinsler (SS)Elvis Andrus (3B)Michael Young (LF)David Murphy (CF)Josh Hamilton (RF)Nelson Cruz (DH)Vladimir Guerrero (SP)C.J.
