Player to be named later was traded again!

The Twins made a waiver wire deal yesterday when they acquired Carl Pavano for a player to be named later. Now I know, who cares it is Carl (Freaking) Pavano, but Carl Pavano just might be able to help you down the stretch. Pavano has been extremely inconsistent this year and his ERA (5.37) and WHIP (1.38), Show how bad he has been at times. However, if you look a little deeper into his peripherals, he is not that bad. He is sporting a solid K\9 rate of 6.30 and a decent k\BB rate of 3.83, but the most telling stat is his FIP which is 4.26, more then a run below his current ERA. It is possible that Pavano will pitch better now, A. Being traded to a contender and B. A better defensive ball club. He is worth a stab and could get ya some wins and decent ratios from here on out.
