Many experts scratched their heads when the Twins re-signed Carl Pavano but it looks like the team knew exactly what they were doing. Pavano has pitched in 20 games (all starts) for the Twins so far this year and he is 12-6 with a 3.26 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP. He only has walked 19 batters while giving up 126 hits in 143 2/3 innings as he has been pounding the strike zone all year long. His best year besides this one came way back in 2004 for the Marlins when he pitched in 31 games (all starts) and was 18-8 with a 3.00 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP. 2004 was the only season that Pavano has won more than 14 games in his career but he looks like he’ll make 2010 the second time. The Twins need Pavano to keep up the good work because the rest of the rotation (except Francisco Liriano) is pitching poorly.
