I doubt Pavano will help us at all.
For some reason I'm feeling a bounce back season for Moose. I don't think he'll post a sub 4.00 ERA but he'll get like 16 wins, I think.
Chacon and Wang will be fine. It's still early in the season, pitchers need time to get going sometimes. Look at all of the pitchers off to bad starts, Jake Peavy, Carlos Zambrano, Johan Santana.
I don't expect much from Wright. He was always a mediocre pitcher. As good as he was last year, Aaron Small probably won't be the answer. I wouldn't be surprised if we try and deal for somebody... possibly Andy Philips, Eric Duncan or Wil Nieves will be sent packing if so. I don't know who would really be available though. Maybe Dontrelle.
I'd be kind of pissed of we dealt Philips, I see big things in his future, he's solid on defense and he's hit at every level of the minors. Supposedly we're interested in Carlos Pena as a defensive replacement at this point though, rendering Philips useless. I'd much rather have Philips, who would probably platoon with Giambi at 1B/DH next year once Bernie is gone.
