Yeah, I mean Papelbon. I'd give Papi a little time; most of his problems last year seem to have been with his mechanics as a result of his injuries. If he has that figured out, he might be OK. Papelbon, on the other hand, is just throwing meatballs and at this point, I'd trade him for a ham sandwich. He scared the crap out of me last year; I don't know how he managed to put up the numbers he did. Bard should close.
