I'm glad because early word was that they might not make the team. Edwar and Veras have had strong springs. I’m glad because early word was that they might not make the team.

You’re Pavano
(Sung to the tune of That’s Amore by Dean Martin)

In Cleveland town, where Rock is king,

When the DL calls, here’s what they sing…

When your arm starts to swell there’s one thing we can tell. You’re Pavano!

When your car starts to slide like you’ve had too much wine, you’re Pavano!

You say, “Sir, is your vision blured? Don’t you feel absurd cashing all of those paychecks?”

Don’t know why, something in my eye, need an MRI, and fans say, “What in the heck?”

If there’s no turning back for your sacroiliac, you’re Pavano!

And your ribs start to ache because there is a break, time to rest…

When you walk in the clubhouse and fall on your wallet, oh no-o!

Scuzza me, but you see, back in Goodyear you’ll be Carl Pavano!

Not remarkable, except that he didn't come up with yet another injury. And in other news, someone who shall remain nameless went 6.2 innings yesterday, with 3Ks, 1 BB 4 hits and one earned run.

The other consideration that works against Berroa is that there probably isn't a player on the 40 man roster who is worth sacrificing for one month (or until A-Rod is activated) of his services. The only reason not to give Pena the job is if they think he needs regular ABs, but otoh, he will get those ABs in a month anyway, and some ML experience now may boost his confidence, which could prove to be a move that benefits the franchise going forward.
