Being great as a closer doesn't translate over to being great as a starter,in regard to Papelbon..Two different mind sets..

Papelbon has stated he wants to start, and Francona and Epstien have confirmed that he should be a starter soon. They wanted to do it this year, but they didn't for some reason, I forget why.

Edit: whatever, not worth arguing about.

I don't think there is any question that Papelbon would be a top-tier starting pitcher. It's never been a question of talent, but rather what the Red Sox needed the most.

Keep in mind that Papelbon closing was out of necessity, not design. He had always been slated as a SP and people were drooling over him as such.

Now imagine if they can get and hold onto Gagne...then move papelbon into the rotation next year.

That makes this trade much more interesting, assuming it goes down.
 
Enough about the sox :D
With many records about to be broken,
What are the odds that Bonds hits 755, A-rod hits 500, and Glavine gets win 300 tonight?
And if that doesn't happen, who will reach the milestone first?

My guess is no to the first question, and A-rod will get to 500 first :D

Be interesting to see how it plays out. Another reason they didn't want to give Schilling that extension....They still need Gagne to waive his no trade clause to make it official..
 
Gabbard murphy beltre to Texas
Gagne to boston

Boston picks up some performance bonuses as needed.

Deal is official now as per Buster Olney of ESPN.

NESN and WRKO are saying its official now too.

Talks with Dye are dead.


So Gabbard was scheduled to start tomorrow. I think the Sox will just move everyone up one day because of the day off yesterday, and have Tavarez fill in until Schilling gets back.
 
Did you see all those deals my Orioles made which will help them return to their past winning ways?

They really did a fine job!

/sarcasm off

Schilling scheduled to start Sunday in Seattle..We still have to face Bedard tonite.Should be a great game..
 
even if I weren't an O's fan, I'll take Bedard and the birds over the Sawx tonight.

Bedard is hands down the best SP in MLB right now.
