    supposedly...just like they supposedly voted in Paps and Drew. I have a hard time believing Francona didn't pick any of those guys.

    Re: Who would you want in the 9th

    Yea the players voted him in...lol

    And why on earth wouldn't paps and drew make it... Drew is the hottest hitter in the league and paps is a sick closer.

    The manager's are required to make their picks public so you'll know who they picked

    yea, the article said the players voted in all 3 of those Red Sox players. They're telling me Francona didn't pick any Papelbon or Drew? Or Varitek? I call BS.

    never said they didn't deserve it, just that I find it hard to believe that Francona didn't pick them.

    I agree, J.D. and Paps should be there because of their accomphlishments/ As for Tek he has struggled a bit and it is far fetched why he would make it over a Navarro.

    If Francona picked Tek, as a Sox fan I'd start a petition to fire him...lol

    Ehh, I must choose between those two? Nobody else?

    To piss off the Yankees fans, I'd go with Papelbon.

    drew and paps were going to get in anyways. the manager only picks at the end. And is usually hampered by the need to get every team represented.

    i think its more of a slap to A.J. that the players wanted no part of him.
