The guy is really awesome but I'm not too sure about Papelbon being a starter. I mean if I was a Red Sox fan I would have a little bad feeling about a closer turning into a starter. I can't imagine it working out.Take my team I just can't see Mariano Rivera pitching 6-7 innings. And I can't really picture Papelbon doing it either. Pitching 1-2 innings as a closer is one thing it's a completely different story when they're asked too play 5 or 6 innings.
