Contract Crowdsourcing: Carl Pavano
Because not everyone is interested in Giants-Braves or Rangers-Rays, we’ll mix in some other stuff during our playoff coverage this week as well. Today, we’ll attempt to estimate the contract that Carl Pavano will receive this winter. In order to give people some assurance that I’m not slanting the votes in any particular direction, I’ll save my commentary on Pavano for tomorrow’s recap of what you guys think he’ll end up with. For now, just the facts.
2010: 221 innings, 1.51 BB/9, 4.76 K/9, 51.2% GB%, 4.02 FIP, 4.01 xFIP, 3.75 ERA
2010 salary: $7 million – accepted arbitration last winter.
Compensation: Projected Type A free agent

I opted for a 3 year/$30 million deal – which supposedly is what Pavano and his agent are going to want.
Some team will overpay for his services, despite his injury history and age.
