This Is Why God Invented Snowblowers

Carl Pavano will likely be out six to eight weeks after rupturing his spleen shoveling snow.

Not to get too far upon my high horse, but Pavano made eight and a half million dollars last year and over 70 million in his career, per Baseball Reference.  (He was still a free agent up until now for this year, however - think teams will be lining up to sign him now.)  You think it's possible to hire somebody to shovel the driveway, or buy a snowblower?

Seattle Mariners Trade for Michael Morse

The Mariners get Mike Morse from Washington in a three-team trade.  Sort of understandable, given the Nats just resigned Adam LaRoche.  Although I'm thinking (1) LaRoche is two years older than Morse, and (2) Morse has more upside, but whatever.

A's dump George Kottaras as part of the deal, who would make a good backup catcher for someone.
