Player Profile #110: Jonathan Papelbon | RP | PHI

If you lived in New England you would think Jonathan Papelbon sucked, but it’s quite the opposite as he’s been one of the best closers over the last six years. Well, Boston fans finally got their wish and Papelbon is now pitching in the NL East. First, he should benefit from the switch just based on not having to face the Yankees offense 18 times per year. Papelbon is...

Papelbon an Upgrade in the Phillies Pen

The Phillies have made some sweeping changes this offseason, with one of the more notable moves being the addition of former Red Sox closer (and owner of one of the most intense faces in baseball) Jonathan Papelbon.  The addition of Papelbon cluttered the closer position to the point where the Phillies closer from last year, Ryan Madson, signed a one year, $8.5 million deal with...

Papelbon a "Junk Baller"?

From a post I did on More Hardball back in 2008...Being a former college athlete I'm sorta okay with that whole butt slap thing, but grabbing another dude's junk is out of line and borderline (ahem...over-the-top) gay.Yep, that's Jonathan Papelbon in the picture grabbing the crotch of Manny Ramirez. Does this make Papelbon (aka- Cinco Ocho) a "junk baller"?

Who is the Best Replacement for Jonathan Papelbon as Red Sox Closer?

Jonathan Papelbon set the market price for a crowded field of free-agent closers when he inked a reported four-year, $50 million deal with the Phillies. Of the rest of the free agents at the position, none are expected to match Papelbon's $12.5 million annual salary, the second-highest ever for a closer. Heath Bell doesn't boast Papelbon's body of work. Ryan Madson became...

Philadelphia Phillies Sign Jonathan Papelbon, But Severely Overpay to Get Him

Yes, the Philadelphia Phillies did sign Jonathan Papelbon yesterday, but they severely overpaid to do so, as they were bidding against themselves. The former closer for the Boston Red Sox was basically as good as gone, and everybody knew that, except, apparently, for the Phillies. Boston had no intent to offer Papelbon a contract anywhere near what the Phillies were prepared to offer...

Your Morning Dump... Where the Sox didn't try to keep Papelbon

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. Papelbon's timing was exquisite. He saved what was arguably his best year for his walk year, and there was never any doubt -- not after he had turned down a chance to sign multiyear deals earlier...
