In a follow up to a post made earlier this morning, my wildest dream for the Red Sox has come true. According to a report from the babealicious Erin Andrews at ESPN and Red Sox resident blogger Curt Schilling, the Red Sox will be announcing that Jonathan Papelbon will be the closer for the 2007 season for the Red Sox.
I truly respect what Schilling is doing by writing his blog. But I have a problem with him announcing this when in fact, it’s not officially been announced by the Red Sox. It’s one thing when the media is trying to track down a story and reports that it might happen but there hasn’t been an official announcement. It’s another thing when you have the inside information and you decide to publish it in your blog. Couldn’t Schilling have eluded to the fact that he would have liked to see Papelbon as the closer this season. I have to wonder if the Red Sox will address this with Schilling.
As for me, I will have more on this once an official announcement has been made. I know I have always said I wanted Papelbon to be the closer for the Red Sox this season but that was me just expressing my feelings as a fan. I do not consider myself a baseball talent evaluator by no means. If I was, I probably wouldn’t be sitting here blogging about this to you, the reader.
