And THAT right there is why you sign Papelbon long term.. when it counts..there is nobody better and he has a perfect post-season resume to back him up. He is much like Rivera...basically one pitch and they still cannot hit him when it counts...it is that extra hop up in the zone that NOBODY...not even the GREAT Yankees can lay off of when the money is on the line. He is the f***ING MAN!

 

 

Strictly stuff-wise...Bard may eclipse Papelbon.... but there is nobody in baseball I would rather have in there when you HAVE to have an out.

 

I love bard and I think he is A closer of the future but I in no way condone dumping Pap or letting Pap go so we can have Bard close, Pap is superior to bard.

Rivera, and it's not even close.

Rivera' date=' and it's not even close.[/quote']

 

this year?and last year? I think it is close, now over a career Rivera has been absolutely dominant and had a hell of a career that Pap cant touch but currently I would not say that Rivera is miles ahead of Pap.

um what? It's not even close?

 

He's talking about overall body of work, i suppose.

 

Which is completely irrelevant to the context of the OP.

I don't know how anyone could chose Papelbon over Rivera in the biggest save situation. No disrespect meant to Pap but Mo is the greatest of all-time.

 

Lol ok.
