Cards Should Be Bargain Shopping with Carl Pavano
rockinthered.com 7/22/2009 — Pavano isn't going to save this team and he won't add considerable value as a playoff contender, but he will give us solid starting pitching from the back-end of the rotation, pitching that won't give away the game before it even gets half-way, while expending the bullpen too.
