Help is on the way
Published 8/18/2008 by D&A at NJ.com: Pride of the Yankees
... to fill that opening are Phil Hughes and Carl Pavano. NJ.com's John Shabe wonders which pitcher fans want to see. Sliding Into Home has posted a nice summary of the latest starts for both Hughes and Pavano. In short, Pavano was impressive for Trenton ( 6 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K ), and Hughes... not quite as lucky for Scranton ( 3.2 IP, 8 H, 5 ER, 0 BB, 4 K ).

From Joel Sherman : Carl Pavano One other Yankee who just might be coming back Saturday in Baltimore is Carl Pavano. This is Pavano, so between now and Saturday he can end up with anything from typhoid to gangrene. But here is the thing for Pavano: He has an opportunity here to make himself more than a punchline to a joke. There is not enough time for a total facelift to his reputation, but ...
