Carl Pavano?

[Hosak8]

It seems that the Yankees are interested in Patterson (IF Damon re-signs with the BoSox). And, it has been reported that they want to deal away Pavano. Is there a way that the Cubs could use Patterson, Walker, Williams, and Hill to pry Pavano and Cano from the Yankees?

 

The Yankees get the CF they desire, they get equal value (2006, anyway) at 2B, they get a SP who should at the very least equal Pavano's 2005 (and hopefully exceed it) and another prospect for the future.

 

The Cubs get Pavano, who could return to being productive outside of the pressure cooker that is NY, and they get a good young 2B to couple with Cedeno.

 

Would you have any interest in that deal? If not, who would you offer to get Pavano and Cano?

Pavano is rather hittable and somewhat of an injury concern. He is expensive and has a few years left on a terrible contract. I wouldn't trade Williams straight up for him, much less the package you suggested.

 

If you look closer at his numbers, Pavano can be seen as the paper tiger he is.

I defer to the last syllable in Pavano.

Touche.

i would do the trade you suggested minus hill... Pavano is just like jeff weaver... good until you put him into the new york spot light... i'd take a flyer on him if patterson, walker and williams netted us cano and pavano...

I'd rather just sign Weaver.

I would honestly say Patterson for Wright or Pavano is a possibility. I'd be willing to take a flier on Wright if the Yanks are willing to pick up some of his contract. He has next year gaurenteed with a 4 mil dollar buy out for 2007.
