Carl PavanoCarl Anthony Pavano is an American Major League Baseball starting pitcher, and currently a member of the New York Yankees in the American League. Previously, Pavano played for the Montreal Expos (1998-2002) and Florida Marlins (2002-04). He bats and throws right-handed. Born on January 8, 1976, in New Britain, Connecticut, Pavano was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the 13th round of the 1994 amateur draft. On November 1997, he was sent to Montreal along with pitcher Tony Armas, Jr. in the same trade that brought Pedro Martinez to Boston. Pavano debuted with the Expos in 1998, and was traded to the Marlins in the 2002 midseason. Despite having often been plagued by injuries, Pavano was able to earn the 5th spot in the Marlins' starting rotation. Nevertheless, he was moved to the bullpen once they arrived in the 2003 playoffs. Later, he was placed back as a starter. Pavano throws a powerful sinker, and he complements it with a heavy fastball, a slider and a changeup. As a fielder, his motion leaves him vulnerable to bunts and in poor position to field the ball or cover first base. On December 11, 2004, Pavano signed a four-year contract worth about $39 million with the New York Yankees. In a seven-year career with Montreal and Florida, Pavano has compiled a 57-58 record with 617 strikeouts and a 4.21 ERA in 937.2 innings. At bat, he is a .142 hitter with two home runs and 14 RBI in 161 games. External links Pavano, Carl Pavano, Carl Pavano, Carl Pavano, Carl Pavano, Carl Pavano, Carl
