My choice... It has to be Pavano.

He killed us for four years. Four years. We kept thinking he would suddenly pitch well for us. He killed us.

It has to be Pavano.

Oh, NOW you remember to include Kei in a poll ?

Lilly for Jeff [no lead is safe] Weaver.
Weaver as a Yankee:
12-12, 5.35 ERA

That the St. Andy choice is leading in the voting is a stupid emotional response to his retirement. They didn't "let" him go; he decided to go and be Robin to Roger's Batman. If he had played his whole career with us, he might have passed Whitey Ford and become the all-time Yankee leader in wins and strikeouts, but he had a different agenda. They couldn't stop him from going to Houston; the fool did it on his own, just like he did HGH.

It could be worse... what if Barry Zito were a Yankee?
