Oh my gosh! Melvin missed out on another pitcher! (Just in case- blue)
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Uh, Drew Storen is arguably better. Not sure why the Nats made this move unless it's to bring in Pap as a setup man.
"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

No need for blue. Papelbon was traded for a 22 year old AA starting pitcher who MLB.com has ranked as their 10th best prospect. He's far from a "blue chip," but I'd like to see us trade K-Rod for a young, talented SP prospect.

"The most successful (people) know that performance over the long haul is what counts. If you can seize the day, great. But never forget that there are days yet to come."

Papelbon would only waive his no-trade clause if he were going to be installed as the closer, and converted his $13 mil vesting option for next year to a guaranteed salary of $11 mil.

 

Storen's comments after the trade show his frustration:

 

“All I’m going to say is, I’m aware of the move and I’ve talked to Mike about it. I’ve talked to my agent about it,” Storen said. “We’ve had some ongoing discussions. Until those have progressed, I’m just going to leave it at that. No comment for now. But as the situation goes, I’ll keep you guys posted.”
