Question about Papelbon

[yankeessuck013]

Question:

 

If Papelbon keeps the closing spot on lockdown, do you guys think there's any chance the Red Sox would trade Foulke before the deadline?

Who would trade for Foulke?

Not unless we eat a big part of is contract! So I say if we are still paying for him, let him pitch here. And as i have said all along, this team's best chances are with Foulke as the closer!

When was the last time Boston and the Yanks made a trade?

Even if he is not the closer, Foulke would still be a very valuable bullpen guy if he is healthy.

And I could dunk if I were taller.

No. Lets say Papelbon remains option #1 all season long we still would need to keep Foulke as insurance. What if Wells blows a knee, what if Clement just blows, we would need another starter and the best option in that case is Papelbon. If we dealt foulke we would have no closer in that case.

[KeepTheFaith1229]

...except Timlin.

[ksushi]

Timlin isn't good closer insurance. Good set up guy, but have you seen all the guys hes putting on base lately?

Thats when we bring up Hansen... I rather go with this kid, than Foulke as closer.

Foulke has looked Good this season, I say give 3-4 more outtings and If Wells and Clement continue to suck, Put Paps in the Rotation, make Foulke Closer, then sign Roger Clemens, that would be a nasty rotation

Schill

Beckett

Clemens

Wake

Paps

Clement had one good outing and one bad one (which he always does against the jays), no need to nail him yet---Wake has done the same thing in reverse are you are not cutting him! The fatman however has shown us nothing positive so far, I wouldn't mind replacing him with clemens after the all-star break!

Nice quote from gammons on wells:

 

 

 

"He’s 42 years old. There comes a time when that great athleticism may not support that Olympian’s body." -- 4.13, ESPN's Peter Gammons on WEEI's Big Show Talking About David Wells

[ksushi]

I still think Clement will be a good starter this season. My big concern is with Wells. I think Foulke will be the closer, Hansen will get called up, and papelbon will be put into the rotation. I think thats a formula for a lot of wins right there. David Wells is nothing but a lightning rod with a weight problem who got way too much run support last year.

[Jeff04]

I hope papelbon gets put into the rotation because he could be a seriuos weapon out there. I think he'd be more effective than wells and he won't complain about something every 2 days. Hopefully we can get rid of wells.

[Jon_Papelboner]

He's the man.

ok this leaves me to ask a question? In my FB team, i got both paplebon and rivera as my closers, but i have no one producing Hits for me. So my question is, do i trade rivera, and leave paplebon as my closer, or do i keep rivera, since paplebon may be going as a starter?
