If anything, Karstens deserves the 5th spot, Igawa the 4th. I can't believe this is even a discussion. While Igawa has control issues, his stuff has been electric. He's struck out guys, making them look silly. He just needs to adjust to MLB mounds and umpires.

Pavano, on the other hand, is total shit. He has gotten bombed on every occasion, his stuff has no action, and he's not going to get better even if Ron Guidry puts on a happy face and says he's had a "great" bullpen session with an imaginary, nonexistent hitter.

Please, please, please...package Pavano and some pitchers and get Texiera. Please.

Or, at worst, we get rid of Eye-Chart over at first base and trade Pavano for Richie Sexson, straight up.
