This would be funny

Brian Cashman spoke to George King and said that Carl Pavano could possibly return before Phil Hughes.

"I haven't asked, but it's possible," GM Brian Cashman said last night. "Pavano should be ready by August and Hughes in August."

Considering Pavano, who is trying to rebound from last year's Tommy John surgery, is throwing curveballs off a mound and Hughes (fractured rib) isn't even on a mound, Pavano would be considered ahead of Hughes.

"The rehabs are different," Cashman said. "Phil Hughes will start throwing from flat ground, but it won't be as long (as Pavano's)."

Imagine that.

While I'm sure Pavano will find a way to delay this even further, I'd like to see him pitch. I've forgotten what he looks like.
