Papelbon Sets Expectations High

Papelbon Sets Expectations HighSpeaking candidly in Fort Myers, closer Jonathan Papelbon told WBZ TV where he thinks the Red Sox stand going in to the 2008 season:

“If we’re not the team to beat, I’d like to know who is. I think that our No. 1 thing is to stay healthy. If we do that, I don’t know who can really compete with us.”
Confidence is certainly something you want in a closer. Lots of teams will be gunning for the Sox this year.
