Derek Lowe didn't have many issues switching from the 'pen to a starting role either, so I would be surprised if this was an issue as far as Papelbon is concerned...
Got it because he... won... a bet with Youk. He got 7 saves before Youk got 7 HRs, or something like that. I think he needs to be careful with the bets. It would seem to me, if you win the bet, its the other one that should be forced to get the mohawk! (By the way, I thought mohawks went out with the 90's.)

I heard the bet was something along these lines...Youk said Papel wouldn't let up a run in his first 10 IP. Papel must've wanted the mohawk b/c it looks like he's got plenty of confidence.
Papelbon rocks. If the Sox decide they NEED him as a starter, Based on the loss of Wells, then Sox fans ought to only worry about which Foulke will show up to close. Papelbon looks like a player!!
And there is NO comparison between Smotz ee and Papelbons potential situations what so ever. Peace.

YOur right, I'm not sure why I was thinking the number of saves. But I thought it was some sort of competition between Youk and him, where Youk was trying to do something first. I was only half listening to the sports show when it was on. I must have heard it wrong.
On today's ESPN Hot List program, they said there is big time rumblings that Roger Clemens is going to chose Boston as his pitching destination this season. This means Paps will not be needed in the SP rotation, and will get his 40 pluss saves in 2006 .

is anyone else getting sick of hearing about whether Clemens will come back? I even have him in one of my leagues...holy crap - just come back or don't.
