And for a decent reliever, too. Good. Papelbon needs a reliable setup man and a backup when he's unavailable.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Not quite Mark Redman territory yet, but this is the third time he's been traded in 6 years....

We still remember him as Covelli. He didn't adopt the Coco nickname until he was with Cleveland....

Well, KC Royals are pretty close to doing the shuffle. It seems to me that having cocoaman as fourth outfielder was worth far more to the Red Sox , than what they will get by adding another arm in the sweepstakes for right-handed set-up man .


(edited because it sounded as if I had the RH set=up man playing the outfield. That only may happen in the All-Star Game)
