2/5 - THT Live: The Twins will spend » by Joshua Fisher
12/29 - THT Live: 2009 MLB Strike % Lea» by Pat Andriola

Tuesday, January 19, 2010

News: Pavano agreed to a one-year, $7 million contract with Minnesota, avoiding arbitration, the team's official web site reports.

Analysis: He'll enter 2010 as one of Minnesota's top three starters and give the rotation a veteran presence. While Pavano's 5.10 ERA last season wasn't overly impressive, he had good secondary numbers with strong control (147:39 K:BB ratio) and slightly above average strikeout (6.6 K/9IP) and groundball rates. He comes with considerable injury risk, however, as he he pitched more than 100 innings last season for the first time since 2004.

Saturday, October 03, 2009

News: Pavano will start on Sunday against the Royals, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.

Analysis: It will be a must-win situation for the Twins to stay alive -- or potentially win the AL Central depending on the outcome of the Tigers-White Sox games on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.
