Papelbon to the Pen

In the biggest fantasy news of the spring, the Red Sox announced today that Jonathan Papelbon would be the closer again this year. He was being drafted as a starter in about every fantasy league so for those of you who tried to grab a potential Red Sox closer like Timlin or Pineiro, throw them back on the wire. If you haven't drafted yet, Papelbon is probably worth a look around the Wagner/Rivera area. If he can stay healthy he can certainly have value like Nathan and K-Rod but he has a very high chance of injury.
