Who was the better Carl P?

Carl Pavano is the Minnesota Twins team ace right now, and a notable player that helped their run to the AL Central last year. Is he the best Carl P the Twins have had in the organization?

Pros: Late 2009, 2010 seasons. Mustache

Cons: This season. Any time when celan shaven.

Carl Pohlad was the long time owner of the Twins, buying the team from Clark Griffith in the 80s. Is HE the best Carl P the Twins have had in the organization?

Pros: 2 World Series championships in his ownership, Target Field began construction, Tom Kelly

Cons: The 90s, tried to contract the team, Ron Gardenhire

What do you think? Which Carl P do you prefer?

BREAKING: Twins acquire Carl Pavano


According to Ben Nicholson-Smith at MLB Trade Rumors, the Twins have acquired pitcher Carl Pavano from the Indians. No doubt, this is an acquisition that helps the bullpen more than the starting rotation, as Pavano isn't really a dominant pitcher anymore, but he has done an excellent job eating innings for the Indians. More than anything, this is what the Twins need out of a pitcher. Pavano is capable, on rare occasions, of having one or two sparkling starts through the end of the year.
The Twins will be sending R.A. Dickey to Rochester, and I imagine this means Glenn Perkins will be moved to the bullpen. I can't imagine the Twins having done much better with this.
