That was a rough estimate, but I just came home to find this quote given by Carl Pavano to MLB.com:

"When you're down, you expect your organization to pick you up, not kick you when you're down," Pavano said. "I've had to pick myself up quite a few times the last four years."

Just in case anybody was unfamiliar with the whole Carl Pavano fiasco, the article followed that quote up by referencing to the fact that he made almost $40 million to pitch in 26 games over four seasons.

It seems what Pavano really wanted in his contract with the Yanks was $40 million in tissues. Gee Carl, all you had to do was ask!
