When Carl Pavano walked off the mound on Sept. 25, most people assumed it would be the last time he would ever wear a Yankees uniform.Not so fast.
Pavano, one of the biggest free-agent busts of all-time, could wind up back with the Bombers this winter as the Yankees look to fill three spots in their starting rotation.
General manager Brian Cashman, who inked Pavano to a four-year, $39.95 million contract in December 2004, remains a big fan of the oft-injured righthander, according to a source, making a return to the Bronx a realistic possibility for the 32-year-old.
"Cashman has definitely not closed the door on Pavano at all," the source said.
Remember this would only be a backup plan (I think), but still, I wouldn't do it. Just cut ties with this mistake and move on.

The Dweeb might strike again! If this story is true, it's unbelievable.
Perhaps solely becasue I'm trying to keep my blood pressure down, I don't really expect anything much at all to happen this coming off-season. Perhaps some in the organization are thinking that all they need to attract fans will be the new stadium.
I will happily announce my silly error if good things do indeed happen this off-season!

LOL, I agree with you on this, stay away from Carla.
if this happens, i will no longer be a cashman supporter
As I predicted in my blog!
I THINK I NEED GLASSES!!I CAN'T BELIVE WHAT I'M READING!!
I have a friend in NYC who posits that although he's the Yankee GM, Cashman is no Yankee fan and makes deal accordingly. This sounds nuts, but who knows for sure?
I have to go now and bring Elvis a tray of sandwiches....
