    He's 33rd on that list after 7 1/2 seasons??? He's the fastest closer to 200 svs? Huh:dunno: And your the one that said " he's on the wrong side of 30" so I provided this list with over 50 pitchers playing into their late 30's and on?:dunno:
  2. ellsburyforMVP
    I was actually just working my way down the list of career sv leaders , of which papelbon is 33rd ( and moving up ) and he's only in his 8th season? If he stays healthy and stays relevant ( nothing to prove that he either can or can't ) and pitches 8 more yrs averaging ( on the low side ) 30 svs a season, that'll put him 3rd on the all-time svs list.....does he then make,the cut,as,the upper echelon closers? Keep in mind that I wasn't comparing him to their "greatness" , just that there has been plenty of relievers that pitched late into their respective careers is all

    YOTN has been in here awhile....either fell asleep or is getting ready to lay some knowledge down on this subject..........hmmmm wonder whose side he'll be on Edit: I actually don't know where he stands on this :dunno:

    To think that any team in baseball would flat out " not want " ellsbury is absurd.... He's the type of guy you WANT to rebuild around?
  5. ellsburyforMVP
    And seeing how saves didn't become " official " until 1969, your " decade of baseball" comment holds no water.....and on that list I stopped counting at 50 , that's relievers that pitched 14 yrs or more
  6. ellsburyforMVP
    I can list many more.... Just figured you would get my point?..guess not http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/SV_career.shtml There's the list for ya, so I don't have to type them all out
  7. ellsburyforMVP
    Rivera,Hoffman,smith,Franco,Wagner,Eckersly,Reardon etc etc etc all pitched Into their late 30's early 40's.....why can't papelbon? Give me one reason he can't? Stop with this WAR crap...Ben zobrist had an 8.5 WAR last yr ( 2nd only to cliff lee ) while hitting .269 with 20 hrs and 19 SB ......that right there ruins the WAR thing for me

    Yeah, it's all pap's fault....not that we got held to 3 runs twice by a 69 win team
  11. ellsburyforMVP
    People always remember the bad about someone......well how about Sept. 25th when pap came in for a 2 1/3 inning save against the Yankees IN New York IN a crucial game? Someone tell me the last time a closer worked more than 2 innings ( not in extra innings ) to get a save?..... But no, let's remember Sept. 28th and say " to hell with papelbon":dunno: Edit: read the schedule wrong ( doubleheader that day ) pap didn't get the sv as the gm went into extra innings...

    And papelbon only had 2 blown saves the whole month?...the rest of the month? 4 hits 2bb and 1 run ( still got the save ) so how did he make you nervous the whole month? Oh, and he had 1 blown sv and no losses prior to September..... So, please correct yourself
  14. ellsburyforMVP
    I know your not putting last September on pap's shoulders??
  15. ellsburyforMVP
    I believe the topic at the time was " would papelbon of won us a few more gms over the current bullpen" ?
  16. ellsburyforMVP
    To say that 3 top 100 prospects and 2 of WMB ( who probably every team in MLB covets right now ) is only a starting point to a deal ( which leads me to believe that you think ellsbury and Lester/Beckett would need to be included ) means you are on drugs in my opinion
  17. ellsburyforMVP
    I don't think you see where I was going there..... Pap had a great statistical season in all aspects in 2006, but he ended up with the 2nd highest amount of blown svs in a season.... But this year his numbers aren't the greatest but he's only blown 2 svs? He's been lights out for the majority of this season, and has honestly had 3 bad outings? I think the only "realism" here is that your a hater? Because barring injury, papelbon will end up top 5 in career svs

  22. ellsburyforMVP
    Idk if I made a trade along the way or not, but on 2k12 the sox have an of'er that turns out to be pretty good in 2013... Also traded papi for Howard , then Howard + minor leaguer for fielder...
  23. ellsburyforMVP
