Papelbon is a MLB quality pitcher that&quot;s with a team that already has too many starters. He has less than 40 innings pitched, so this is Francona&quot;s way of getting him experience at this level. It&quot;s a win/win/win situation for the Red Sox: getting a young guy the experience he needs, getting a broken down guy time to continue getting back to form, and getting important wins in April.
