Pap

Jonathan Papelbon was quoted saying that he won't ever sign with the Yankees and stressed this fact to the extreme. Even though Johnny Damon said the same thing before jumping ship to the "Evil Empire" a few years back, I actually believe Papelbon. Congrats to this great Sox closer for killing this rumor until he does actually become a free agent in 2011. Whether he keeps his word or not he is still stanking up to the Yankees "spend at all cost" mentality and and may determine the fact that every player can not be bought.

It would actually be refreshing to hear of a big name that's not going to sign with the Yankees. I honestly could live off one of A-Rods game checks for a very long time. Im actually suprised that Manny Ramirez wasn't courted by the Yankees and that wouldv't added another $20 million+ to an already huge team salary. It seems everything in baseball either deals with the Yankees or will eventually deal with them.

All I'm saying is "Thank you very much Papelbon," you actually give hope that alot of the other players will follow suit and say "NO!"
