American Idle Rerun Scheduled For 2009?

Pavano, one of the biggest free-agent busts of all-time, could wind up back with the Bombers this winter as the Yankees look to fill three spots in their starting rotation.

General manager Brian Cashman, who inked Pavano to a four-year, $39.95 million contract in December 2004, remains a big fan of the oft-injured righthander, according to a source, making a return to the Bronx a realistic possibility for the 32-year-old.

"Cashman has definitely not closed the door on Pavano at all," the source said.

Cashman himself acknowledged that he is open to any and all options this winter, though he wouldn't specifically address Pavano's situation.

Pavano Era Nearly Over

Did he even have a choice in this? Good riddance Mr. Liability. You will not be missed. As Joel Sherman sums up:

"For a four-year, $39.95 million contract, the Yankees would have received 19 starts and a load of headaches and heartaches from the brittle Pavano. He went 5-6 as a Yankee with a 4.77 ERA. He had as many wins in four years as a Yankee as reliever Luis Vizcaino did in the four weeks from to June 22-July 21 last year."

How can I fool someone into signing me to a Major League contract...?
