The Philadelphia Phillies coaching staff prefers not to use RP Jonathan Papelbon in games in which they are losing late in games. Pitching coach Rich Dubee considered bringing Papelbon in with the team behind by one run Saturday, April 7, but only because he had already warmed up twice in the bullpen. Papelbon has pitched more than one inning for a save situation 39 times in his career, and he's 2-1 with 2.09 ERA with 31 saves (79.5 percent) when he goes more than an inning.

Philadelphia Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said Friday, Jan. 13, that he is confident in the team's signing of RP Jonathan Papelbon, who received a four-year, $50 million deal, while the team's former closer RP Ryan Madson signed a one-year deal worth $8.5 million with the Cincinnati Reds. "We knew there were other teams who were going to be very competitive in the market for closers. Once we go to an AAV (average annual value) of $12.5 million with Papelbon, we felt that was a reasonable deal for us to make."
