[26 to 6]

Honestly, while I understand their position, wanting to hold onto him to collect all of the insurance, I don't think it's necesarily a bad move. He WAS, at one point, a pretty servicable major league pitcher, and if he does well on rehab and in the Minors this season he could provide some insurance if need-be. At first it seemed he was willing to accept the deal, but in recent days i've read that he and his agent are considering exploring other options. If Carl Pavano has any integrity he will accept this minor league contract considering all the Yankees have given him without getting a damn thing in return.
