It will be....

CARL PAVANO!!!

Seems like a very interesting, incentive based signing.  I never loved him when he was with Florida but I guess he could be an average acquisition.  I would rather spend a little more and get an injury prone guy like Sheets.

According to ESPN's Buster Olney, the Indians are in serious discussions with free agent starter Carl Pavano.  Pavano will visit Cleveland soon and a deal could be wrapped up quickly.  We'll have to see if Pavano can come close to the $2MM guaranteed Mike Hampton received from the Astros.
