Chris Cotillo of MLBDailyDish.com reports that Carl Pavano (spleen) "feels good" and should begin throwing off mound in the next week or so. He'll then audition for teams shortly after that if all goes well. Pavano turned 38 last month and missed the entire 2013 season after suffering a ruptured spleen, but he's not ready to give up on his career.
