    Re: Who would you want in the 9th

    Hmmm, that is so very tough as they are both extremely dominant. Rivera has the longevity and is arguebly the best closer ever. Paps on the other hand has a huge future as a closer and could have numbers that rival Rivera by the end of his career without injuries. So I guess my vote would be use one of the guys to get two outs and the other to get the other one. I squeked past that one didn't I?

    Regardless, I find Paps annoyingly obnoxious in a very immature way. Mo is professional and definitely one of the greatest closers of all-time.

    he's just a kid who's having fun playing the game he loves. It's not like he's a Lastings Milledge or anything

    yeah, and he already showed he's going to be a dick about it and pick his own struggling catcher for the ASG. So don't doubt him passing up Rivera for Paps in the 9th
