The Indians signed RHP Carl Pavano to a one year contract. The Indians needed a righthanded #3 or #4 starter to break up the soft tossing lefties they have. Hopefully he can stay healthly long enough for Jake Westbrook to get back. This would have been a good signing in 2002 now it's a crap shoot with his reconstructed right elbow. The starting rotation will probably look like this. Cliff Lee, Fausto Carmona, Jeremy Sowers, Pavano, and Aaropn Laffey/Scott Lewis. If Pavano can pitch past the all-star break he's not a terrible 4th starter, especially for what the Tribe can afford.
