Why do people keep saying papelbon is cocky?

Question

he didnt say he should close over mo. He just said he said he would love to close.

hello who wouldn't?

Answer 1

Because he is. Simple enough although if you want a reason its because he is a closer, you need to be that way to get through the tough times.

And I dislike him as much as the next Yankees fan but I do respect him. Whether he said he wanted to close or should close is mute. Like old blue eyes once said... "To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels"

Answer 2

regardless of whether or not he's cocky, your right he never made any remark about him being the one who should close.  He said he likes to close because thats where he is most comforitable.  I dont know anything about cocky, i know he gets pissed when he blows a save, but most pitchers do.

Answer 3

He is though

Answer 4

Because he is?

Answer 5

He just wants the easy way out of thing, that's why he is  a Closer would be a better Starter then Dice-k and Beckett, If he only tries harder but I guess he doesn't want to.

Answer 6

I hate him. papelb!tch. hahaha

Answer 7

He corrected himself when he said he would like to close. His original statement was that he should close. He was trying to cover his tracks when he realized how much he was going to get harassed for saying that.
