Verlander, Liriano, Papplebon and Weaver, are you kidding me , these 4 are all having incredible rookie seasons!

:toast: :toast:

I don't recall 4 rookie pitchers ever putting up these kind of combined numbers...all four are remarkable.

Liriano is the cream of the crop...he's phenomenal. Plus Lester, the other kid from Minn, the kid from texas, and some of the kids from Anaheim...all could turn out to be solid 1 or 2's down the line.

Verlander, Papplebon, and Liriano are all not only up for ROOKIE OF THE YEAR, but all three are legit CY YOUNG AWARD contenders.

I'm wondering if Boston will eventually move Papplebon back to the starter role, it would be very tough to tinker with him at this point, I would think.

No chance this year in my estimation.

I didn't mean this year...I have heard they still plan for him (Papplebon)to be a starter at some pojnt...It would be really hard movinga guy like this, his season is one of the top 5 in reliever history if he continues doing this.
