Papilbon blew 4 saves out 37 chances last year. One of which was on the last day of the season to the Orioles when the team was collectively as down as they could be.
So if you're ahead in the 9th and you gave him the ball, you had a 89.2% of winning. I think he got an inordinate amount of 4 out saves - but that's just guess.
It's right up there in among the premier closers - of which there are very few. And I'm not sure among the free-agent class this year, who is left. They should have signed him - he has the right make-up for a closer and while not a leader, he's not a problem child either.
