Jenks to Boston. Not a bad pick up for Theo. Just 2 years and no draft picks. Boston has 3 potential closers who can work the 7th-8th-9th innings. Although something tells me Paps may be gone.
He's going year to year via arbitration, and he has said on numerous occasions that he wants to be the best closer in the game, and to be paid like it as well.
He's good, and he's still a top closer, but his throwing style and lack of pitches will never allow him to be the "best in the game" (over a long period of time). He wants huge money and a long term deal; the sox know this...hence why they will eventually let him walk or trade him.
Pap's problem is that he was so good, so quick, people expect him to be lights out 100% of the time.
