Liriano and Baker have considerable upside to them. It makes sense to pursue both for the right price.

Pavano has almost zero upside at this point.

That's why Pavano would come dirt cheap (minor league contract) Pavano gives you a better shot at a 4.25 ERA and 200 IP then any of DeVries/DeDundo/Walters group.

Noooooo!!!!!

Deduno and Walters, yes. De Vries, I'm not so sure about. Given Pavano's velocity over the past two years, I don't think he could outpitch De Vries (mind you, this is a comparison of which player will be less terrible, not which one will be good).
