From John Perrotto at Baseball Prospectus:
The Red Sox have joined the Blue Jays in the pursuit of free-agent pitcher Carl Pavano.
The weird thing is that Pavano could be a nice bargain for a team like the Sox. On the other hand, Carl Pavano is Carl Pavano. Imagine if he actually pitched a lot of games for the Sox and did well. Would there be a more hated player in Yankeeland ever?
Oh right. There's A-Rod. But besides A-Rod, would there be a more hated player in the Bronx?
