"If you look at the baseball season that has been played so far, the Most Valuable Player in the American League, and maybe both leagues, might be Jonathan Papelbon, the Red Sox new closer."
On the "Sports Reporters" show, Lupica was more forceful than he is in print. After a gratuitious reference to Jason Giambi's steroid use, Lupica said that Papelbon was the MVP of baseball in the 2006 season. He also praised Francona for going with "the Kid."
I actually laughed out loud.
You know what? I don't even have to tell you who the MVP of MLB is if you look at the baseball season that has been played so far. I don't even have to give you a hint, but I will.
The guy who has hit 22 homeruns is more valuable than the guy who has pitched 22 innings.
