he was great on letterman! very charming and funny-himself. lots of guys get self concious and don’t talk-he seemed to be himself. very very funny. bedazzler-that was the best.
he was great answering the a-rod question-appealed to NY fans at letterman yet was honest-very good pappy

Jason,

Just be assured that once you get papelbon, he will suck.

At this point he doesn’t seem to care too much about money. In the article that acompanied his first SI cover, they brought up the point that he could make much more money as a starter than as a closer, and he said something like, “Over the course of a career, what’s the difference between 80 million and 100 million? Nothing.” Future Yankees don’t think like that!

Per Cot’s baseball contracts:

Jonathan Papelbon p
1 year/$0.4255M (2007)
* re-signed 3/07
* $25,000 award bonus for All Star selection

Looks like he’s in line for a BIG increase after this season.

…what ARE the exact terms of his contract?

But this is a much better idiot than The Idiot. Pap’s not even a real idiot–he’s just a Hilarious.

Papelbon is good. He throws just as hard as zumaya…it would be such a shame if he blows out his arm like zumaya and gagne though. it would be really sad.

Jason- you take that back right now! We will not have any Damon-esque thoughts about Papelbon. Now excuse me while I go check the exact terms of Papelbon’s current contract…

It took a while, but it looks like Boston has found it’s new Idiot. So now it’ll be what, like 2-3 years till he’s the closer for the Yankees?

After seeing that video, it makes me LOVE Papelbon even more. :)

Is it wrong of me to be giggling about the “slutter” even after the video finished? That may have made my day.
