    Congratulations Jonathan Papelbon save #300 tonight

    Jonathan Papelbon finally found himself back in a save situation, working a scoreless ninth inning for his 14th save -- the 300th of his career -- in Tuesday's win over the Padres. Papelbon, the 26th reliever to reach 300 career saves, last found himself in a save situation on May 24. Due to circumstances that can mostly be blamed on the team's poor performance lately, he had pitched in tie games or mop-up duty just for the work. Papelbon now has a 1.48 ERA on the season with 14 saves in 15 chances and a 20/9 K/BB ratio in 24 1/3 innings. Despite diminished velocity, Papelbon has been quite reliable for the Phillies.

    Most pitchers that play for a fairly long time are going to lose velocity and they have to kind of re-invent themselves to stick around. It looks like Papelbon has done that.

    I wish he didn't have such a bad contract so that he could get traded to someone where he could get some more save opportunities. He probably needs to get to 450-500 saves to be considered for the HOF.

    Phillies need to eat some of that contract and send him somewhere. Anywhere.

    Mets need a closer and they're bad with money... Send him!
