"It wasn't like I was devastated or thought the world was coming to an end. I know what's up ... The fans, they don't really understand. It's good for them to understand everything is going to be just fine. I had all the confidence in the world in myself. The great ones -- [Mariano] Rivera, [Trevor] Hoffman -- they go through bumps in the road. What distinguishes the great player from the average player are the ones who get out of ruts quick. That's my whole goal."

if papelbon becomes a starter next year, that means that the red sox are in the hunt for a closer...who're they gonna get?? sure, every year there are relief pitchers that teams discover have the ability to close, and this happens every single year, but...what are the chances of that happening??

and someone refresh me on the closers that are gonna be FA this year..

^ there's not a lot, which is why i said it's possible he might close for one more year.

they might try out craig hansen, they might trade for tom gordon.
