Yes, Ruben Amaro, Jr. (or Pat Gillick, or was it really Andy MacPhail in the conservatory with the lead pipe?!) finally traded the reliever at the deadline. On the field, Papelbon's numbers were never really in question.
I'll go ahead and own up to it. I own a Jonathan Papelbon shirsey. It's probably still down there in the bottom of the drawer, stuffed away, somewhere between the powder blue Cliff Lee one (pre-Halladay, pre-Lee-to-Seattle trade, glad I held on to that one for the second stint) and the far too old Chase Utley one with the hole in it.
