When it's bottom of the 9th at Yankee Stadium in August/September and you have a couple runners on and need to get 1 or 2 outs to close out a key victory - or really any pivotal game at that point. Who do you want closing it out. Papelbon is valuable everywhere. I'm sure he'd be a great starter and I know he's a awesome closer. Just personal preference I guess.grittysquirrelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00631956472305982542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1501022548446411809.post-71533938490171604532007-02-28T01:17:00.000-05:002007-02-28T01:17:00.000-05:00papelbon will be MUCH more valuable as a starter. ...papelbon will be MUCH more valuable as a starter. why only use him for 90 innings, when you can use him for 200? it isn't logical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1501022548446411809.post-6577373085387737572007-02-24T13:04:00.000-05:002007-02-24T13:04:00.000-05:00fair enoughfair enoughgrittysquirrelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00631956472305982542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1501022548446411809.post-51971396138650666752007-02-24T03:05:00.000-05:002007-02-24T03:05:00.000-05:00I think they're gonna start with Timlin since he's...I think they're gonna start with Timlin since he's done it before.

B/c if not Papelbon that's the only other person i see closing games<BR/>- Those two guys are pretty above-average 4th and 5th starters. Rather they end up winning a lot of games or not who knows. They are the cubs.grittysquirrelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00631956472305982542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1501022548446411809.post-81001913281235444512007-02-23T12:31:00.000-05:002007-02-23T12:31:00.000-05:00Well since there's no way it's happening, I'll go ...Well since there's no way it's happening, I'll go with a sock that I've worn all day. Also, I would like to raise objection to the Sox having Papelbon as a closer, I think hat would be pretty dumb.

When I mentioned 2B i was speaking in mere happenstance. Sorry Jon, I as well really would like to see stephen a eat a piece of clothing. <BR/><BR/>Just for mere happenstance what type of clothing would it be? Just incase Mark Teahen somehow ends up playing some 2B.grittysquirrelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00631956472305982542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1501022548446411809.post-85906756747168634282007-02-23T03:47:00.000-05:002007-02-23T03:47:00.000-05:00I am now secretly rooting for the Royals to move T...I am now secretly rooting for the Royals to move Teahan to 2B.

Teahan played very well the 2nd half of last year, which will just make the race even more interesting to play out.twins15https://www.blogger.com/profile/03523976327895867248noreply@blogger.com
