For Those of You Who Might Be Wondering,

Torre says Pavano will likely not be pitching at all for the Yankees this season, though he'll continue to do rehab starts in the minors. I have no idea what he could be rehabbing for, but I suspect the players on the big league team simply do not want him and his slacker karma anywhere near them. An team investigation into his latest injury is underway, presumably with an eye to finding the Holy Grail, an excuse to void his contract. So long as he is being paid, however, my feeling is the Yankees should bring him to NY and make him practice on the field before games, as is their right, while suspending stadium rules during that period about throwing things at the players. Since he won't do anything to earn his outlandish salary, he should be treated like Sackerson, the bear baited outside the Globe theater.
