Pap's Back

No the Red Sox closer is not getting off-season surgery on his back. He's back on the team, because he signed a one-year deal with the Sox for 2010. Signing right before salary arbitration. He will earn $9.35 million, but could earn $9.5 million--that's $3 million more than last year's pay.

Manny Delcarmen signed for just under one million ($905k). And Ramon Ramirez for just over one million ($1.155). They also have Daniel Bard, the closer in waiting. We'll see..I like it, but Pap did not have his best year last year. He is strong, and I assume he will bounce back.

Go SOX!
