Carl Pavano pitched two-hit ball for seven shutout innings today against the Mets. Pavano has a 1.80 ERA in four starts. He's been extremely efficient, giving up just 11 hits and one walk in 20 innings. He's also struck out just seven betters, but the fewer pitches he throws, the more likely he is to stay healthy for a second year in a row.
Not a terribly exciting guy, I know. But consider some stats from last year:
K/9: 5.96(call it 6)
K/BB: 2.71
BB/9: 2.19
HR/9: 0.85
That's not bad. In fact not bad at all. Qualifies as a LIMA guy in every cat. 28 years old, could this guy break out? Where do you rank him against late round guys like say Lawrence, Washburn, Cliff Lee, Eaton, etc.?
I am looking for something ~4.30 and a ~1.3 WHIP....with 12 wins and 140 K's.....

England's Worcester Canoe Club set the world record for paddling a hand-propelled bathtub. The 25 man team covered a distance of 55 miles, 425 yards in 24 hours on September 28 and 29, 1979.
okay, i got the low down on Pavano, since he is my favorite player.
you might have noticed him in the world series last season.
he pitched against Clemens and did very well but didn't get the win for the game because the closer blew it. anyways, i would say hes a good sleeper. Pavano was traded for Pedro Martinez back when Martinez was on the Expos, so he must have potential right?
Last season he was 12-13 with a 4.30 ERA.
This season he's pitching very well in spring training like you said and could possibly win 15 games and have an ERA around 4.00.
So maybe not as good as a Jerome Williams yet, considering the Marlins downgraded the offense this season but a good sleeper who is a great pick in deeper leagues and keeper leagues.
I have my eye on Pavano for the final round in my draft. Right now, it's toss-up between him, John Thomson, Adam Eaton, and BK Kim (I can't bring myself to draft D. Wells, Sheets, or Burnett). How does Pavano compare to these guys???
In my current slow-draft, he's been taken behind Lee and WAY behind Washburn. Eaton and Lawrence (along w/ Pavano) are still available. Personally, I'd have them as:
Washburn
Eaton/Pavano (toss-up...see previous post)
Lee

Lawrence (I don't think much of him)

i would put Pavano at the top compared to those guys.
