It's official: Pavano is a pain

BY SAM BORDEN
DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER

ANAHEIM - Carl Pavano's disastrous tenure as a Yankee hit another low this
weekend and the club's frustration with the oft-injured righthander may be
at an all-time high.

Here's the latest twist: Pavano was near the end of his rehab from surgery
to remove bone chips in his elbow and originally was scheduled to make two
starts for Triple-A Columbus. With the Bombers' rotation struggling,
however, the Yankees were planning to have Pavano start Thursday in place
of Jaret Wright, according to sources, assuming his Friday outing for the
Clippers went fine.

After finishing the game - in which he allowed two runs in six innings -
Pavano seemed okay, sources said. About 20 minutes after Columbus manager
Dave Miley informed Pavano of the Yankees' plans, however, he mentioned
that he had been feeling some pain in the lower chest and oblique area on
his right side, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
Now, it's unclear - again - when he'll be able to pitch.

"He's scared stiff," one Yankee official said.

GM Brian Cashman did not return calls for a second consecutive day
yesterday. Joe Torre said the Yankees were going to have Pavano
"checked out" today but are still planning on him throwing a side session;
sources said the Yankees were trying to gauge the intensity of Pavano's
latest condition and determine whether it's actually debilitating enough
to keep him from finally making his season debut.

This much is clear: The Yanks' patience with Pavano has been severely
tested. As Pavano's saga has dragged on, his credibility in the Yankees
clubhouse certainly appears to have suffered; each setback for Pavano is
met with a collective dose of sarcastic shock among his teammates, and
several players have questioned whether the former Marlin is even
interested in pitching again.

Torre defended the pitcher, but admitted that when he first heard news
of Pavano's complaint, "it becomes one of those things where you take
the air out of the balloon again." He added that, "It's frustrating for
us, but I'm sure it's the same for him."

Pavano signed a four-year, $39.95 million contract before last season.
He hurt his back during spring training that year and made only 17 starts
before being shut down for the season with rotator cuff tendinitis.

Then during spring training of this season, back problems plagued Pavano
and, during the one game he pitched in, he fell covering first base and
suffered bruised buttocks.

While rehabbing from those injuries, elbow pain forced him from a start
from Double-A Trenton and he had the bone chip removal in May. The last
time he pitched in the majors was June 27, 2005.
