Morning Mashup: Pats doubters arise
By: admin

The Patriots doubters are out in full force, with the team's offense and defense being questioned. Plus, John Wooden turns 99, and Stephen Jackson, fresh off a two-game suspension, is no longer captain of the Golden State Warriors. But he didn't want to be captain anyhow, because, "I don't want to be a role model. ... You don't do anything but go out before the game and talk to the refs. I don't want to do that, anyway." That plus videos, trivia and more in Wednesday's Morning Mashup on our LEEInks blog.

Phillips on D&C: Trade Papelbon

In an offseason when the free agent market is regarded as weak, Phillips suggested that the Sox' best avenue to improve their team for 2010 is to use Papelbon to try to acquire an impact player via trade.

 

"I think if Papelbon is available, and I think he will be, I think there will be a significant market for him and teams will really step up," Phillips said. "When you look at the Bobby Jenkses of the world who might be available via trade, and guys like that, Fernando Rodney is a free agent, Papelbon stands out as a difference-maker. If I’m the Red Sox, I look at the arm that [Daniel] Bard has. They know his stomach better than...
