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.
