It's tough to blame Cashman though - again, yeah, he could have traded him away, but would he have gotten quality pitching in return? Trying to find decent pitching nowadays is like grasping for straws, so I doubt that a Pavano deal would've garnered much, AND the Yankees still would probably be paying the vast majority of his salary.

I agree though, buy him out, end his career. He's toast.


No I do agree with Cashman because I wanted to believe in Carl and give him another shot. Unfortunately, we were both wrong and the guys DONE.

In other news, it looks like Zito is settling down in the NL finally, 3-3 with a 3.65 ERA. He went 6 strong innings last night against the Mets, giving up 3 runs on 7 hits with 1 BB and 5 SO.
