Hopefully, Bates will get in soon. I'm a big fan of his and want to see him play. Wether it's with the Isles or another team I don't care.

Nope. Pavano actually had superstar caliber talent BEFORE he became perennially injured.

why not just put bates in bridgeport for 2 weeks to get some conditioning back? does he still need to clear waivers if it's injury related?

Pavano never had superstar caliber talent... look at the guys stats for his career before he signed w/ the yankees, 1 good season doesn't make you a "superstar caliber talented pitcher"... that signing had mistake written alllllll over it.

Wrong. 1 good season doesnt make you a superstar pitcher, but it proved he has the caliber to be one.

Bates is a great penalty killer and has a knack for creating opportunities on the PK as well. I dont like him too much even strength, but I do like his play on the PK. Have to disagree with you at least half way.

If you've been troubled lately, now's the time to seek a friend's counsel. Even just a little tea and sympathy will be nice, so plan to have lunch with someone simpatico. Everyone needs to spend a little time with someone who won't judge them; Cancer is often wonderful at giving this sort of unconditional affection but often has a harder time seeking it out. Accept a little TLC... you need it now.
