Carl Pavano Has Been Spotted!
Can it be true? Carl Pavano is about to take----be still my beating
heart----a rehab start?!?
The Yankees are saying that this is going to be a version of spring
training for Pavano; so when are they planning for him to be back? November?
And does anyone truly believe that if the Yankees are in any kind of a race
for a playoff spot in September that Joe Torre is going to trust Pavano in
any role other than that of a mop up man?
And I hate to quibble with the the statements of a manager heading to the
Hall of Fame when he retires, but Torre was quoted as saying, "We're dealing
with someone who hasn't been competitive in a year..."
Competitive in a year? That would imply that he was competitive while
with the Yankees. I certainly didn't see someone who was "competitive" while
wearing a Yankee uniform when watching Carl Pavano. I hate to keep harping on
this, but the last time Pavano appeared "competitive" was when he was with
the Marlins and pitching for his big free agent contract.
I must again and again reiterate that this is no personal vendetta, but
is anyone associated with the Yankees from the front office; to the manager;
and especially to the players; going to expect anything of substance from
Pavano at this point? He has shown no desire, no willingness, no
determination to return.
I would love to hear an honest appraisal of Pavano from the old warriors
from the championship Yankee teams such as Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Mariano
Rivera and Bernie Williams. They were members of the team when the roster was
comprised of more than just a string of mercenaries. And don't be fooled by
any congenial facade those players portray; underneath they are some of the
most intense and competetive players in baseball. Having played with warriors
like David Cone and Paul O'Neill, who left every ounce of sweat and pieces of
their bodies out on the field to perform for their teammates, they must look
at someone like Pavano with unmitigated disgust. It's one thing to be
injured; it's another to give the impression of not even trying to come back.
It strikes me as odd that Mike Maroth is preparing for a return from the
exact same injury as Pavano is in a fraction of the time. Pavano has become
the Yankees equivalent of the Loch Ness monster or a UFO. Sighted, but never
captured; believed, but never proved. So, again, there is another rehab
start planned; another date of possible activation and participation in a
pennant race. At this point, I wonder whether members of the team even want
him back at all. It takes desire, discipline, dedication and teamwork to win
a championship. The question has to be asked: Would Carl Pavano add anything
even remotely familiar to any of those qualities to his team? You tell me.
