I was certain yesterday that Joel Pineiro would emerge as the Red Sox closer. Well, I felt good about my prognostication for about 12-16 hours until just about everyone, roto experts, ESPN reporters and even Schilling himself, let me in on the solution to the Red Sox closer problem; bring [tag]Jonathan Papelbon[/tag] back!
Papelbon Back To Pen [MLB Trade Rumors]
“…the Red Sox are expected to announce Jonathan Papelbon’s return to the closer role today. Somewhere, Joel Pineiro just shed a tear.”
Papelbon In The Pen [Roto Authority]
“First the easy part. Whoever you drafted as Boston’s projected closer, whether it was Timlin, Tavarez, Donnelly, Pineiro, Rolando Arrojo, or whoever, drop him. “
Red Sox will send Papelbon back to bullpen [ESPN]
“Two days after announcing that the 41-year-old Timlin will start the season on the disabled list, multiple team sources told ESPN’s Erin Andrews that the Red Sox have decided Jonathan Papelbon has regained the closer’s job.”
Paps to the Pen [Curt Schilling’s blog, 38 Pitches]
“Paps wanted to close because that’s where he felt he helped the team best, but he had no issues or problems being a starter either. He was going to do whatever role they asked of him.”

A portion of fantasy baseball is about “feel”. The story is great about him not sleeping at night, and discussing it with Francona/Varitek.
