The Rajah of Rehab a/k/a American Idle a/k/a Carl Pavano wants to return to the Yankees late in the 2008 season. “I really still believe he can help the team in the second half of this season coming up,” his new (4th) agent, Tom O’Connell said.
Despite signing with the Yankees for $39.5 million in 2004, O’Connell said that Pavano was concerned about going down to the minors (as the team asked) because he was only 11 days from accruing 10 years’ service time in the majors and thus a full pension.
Apparently, the wily righty had invested his funds in highly speculative bonds tied to sub-prime mortgages, which is why he is so worried about his pension, according to an exclusive report that we just made up.
“I’m very excited to be representing him,” O’Connell said Tuesday. “I really, truly believe he’s going to have a very happy ending — hopefully.”
Good to see Pavo getting decent ink for a change.
ReplyDeletePav would be the first to tell you he's not satisfied with his output. But injuries are a part of the game. I can't help but think we're seeing the makings of a great TV movie, where the loser, the guy everybody counted out, comes back from Scranton to save the World Series! Wouldn't it be intense!
Please pass that bong over here, Bro'.
ReplyDeleteI think Carl has had a happy ending everyday of his idleness.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think caused his car crash with the babe into the garbage truck?
