Thread: Pavano back on the roster according to ESPN 1500

That spleen surgery really did a number on him.

I see Today's post from TwinkieTown also points this out.

Looks like he lost some weight. Should be expected after losing your spleen though.

When is the quote about penciling him into the rotation going to squeak out?

He's trimmed his mustache a bit, makes him look totally different.

Another reason for Butera to be on the 25 man.

That just made my day.

What I like is this (emphasis below : )

So Mr Hingle needs to mandatorily get credit for Pavano's transformation

And if anyone is interested to know who that young man pictured is, it is.... Brandon Boggs

I am going to assume that Luke's post was a good-hearted attempt at humor, and would note that it appears that someone (perhaps another moderator) has already deleted Luke's post (although it has been quoted by others).

Please let's all be sensitive to the fact that comments relating to race, gender and sexual identity can be offensive, even when there is no pejorative intent. TD encourages humor and attempts at humor, but please be thoughtful about how something might be interpreted by someone who does not know the author.

Here is another one in the same set: The transformation of Carlos Gutierrez
(It is Mike Tonkin)
