Newsbreakers

October 11, 2009

Jonathan Papelbon took the blown save and the loss on Sunday as the Angels came from behind to sweep the Red Sox out of the playoffs with a 7-6 win. Papelbon went one inning and allowed three runs on four hits while walking two.

Our View:

Pap has been a bit of a circus this season, but he usually managed to eventually get the job done. He did not today, as the Angels took advantage of some walks and some hits to finish off the Sox in Boston.

September 3, 2009

Accordin to the Providence Journal, Red Sox's closer Jonathan Papelbon has been fined again by MLB for taking too long to get to the mound in his last outing Tuesday against the Rays. This is the seventh time Papelbon has been fined for this infraction in 2009, and he has paid over $10,000 due to the fines.

Our View:

It's hard to say who is more ridiculous in this situation, the league for fining a guy for going too slow or Papelbon for continuing to do it. It has become obvious that neither side is going to change, so expect the fines to continue to come.

September 2, 2009

Jonathan Papelbon will likely be unavailable to close Wednesday night after throwing two innings and 28 pitches on Tuesday, according to the Boston Globe.

Our View:

Billy Wagner is also unavailable, so we could get a glimpse into Daniel Bard's closing future if the Red Sox are protecting a lead going into the ninth tonight.

August 12, 2009

The Boston Globe reports that closer Jonathan Papelbon likely won't be available for Wednesday's contest against the Tigers.

Our View:

J.P. has thrown 2.1 innings the past two days and Manager Terry Francona doesn't want to overuse his arm unless absolutely necessary. He should be back to closing games within a day or two.

July 21, 2009

Jonathan Papelbon is available to pitch in tonight's game at Texas, according to the Providence Journal.

Our View:

He deemed himself fit to resume his closer's role following his bout with the flu. Papelbon looks to be safe to pencil into fantasy lineups.
