Red Sox name Papelbon closer
Baseball Betting Lines
03/22/2007 - Clearwater, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Red Sox announced on Thursday that Jonathan Papelbon will be the team's closer for the upcoming season.
Papelbon spent last year as Boston's closer and he had 35 saves to go along with a sparkling 0.92 earned run average, the eighth lowest in league history among pitchers with at least 50 innings pitched.
He also converted his first 20 save opportunities of the campaign and was named to the American League All-Star team.
The Red Sox originally drafted Papelbon to be a starting pitcher in 2003 but in spring training last year he was so impressive pitching out of the bullpen that the team decided to use him in a relief role.
There was speculation that Boston would shift Papelbon into its starting rotation for this year, but Julian Tavarez will likely get the nod as the fifth starter after pitching well in that role last September.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
