Sunday Evening Poll: What Is Carl Pavano's New Nickname?

Everybody gets one.

I realize it's early in Carl Pavano's tenure as a memeber of the Minnesota Twins, but now is a good of a time as any to give the burly right-hander a handle.  Feel free to post your own in the comments section...

Bah, too early.

that’s like posting a poll on offseason moves. Let’s wait and see how he does a little first, before we give him a “studly” moniker like hott or killer. He could very well be lukewarm karl, or even cool karl before this is all done (let’s hope not). But if he does end up sucking peanuts I propose calling him “the Yank”

Ohh, the Yank.

I like that one, should things turn sour.

Worst. Nickname. Ever.

Pavano deserves better that Hott Carl. Gardy’s just going to call him Pavsy anyway. Vanzie (Rhymes with Fonzie) is probably a stretch.

PAVALICIOUS

Maybe best used as and adjective to describe a particularly tasty performance by the Carl (or any fellow starter)?

I get that Batgirl pushed this well....

….back in the day, but if he just remains “Pavano” maybe it will keep from sucking like the rest of the staff.

Karl Hungus!

Glad to see there are a few nihilists out there.
