Giving Lefty his Papelboner

Interesting bit of historical revisionism going on from Red Sox camp. It seems that Tim Kurkistan (ijihad? Whatever.) is reporting on the ESPN.com site for spring training that:

It was a sound decision to move Jonathan Papelbon to the rotation to prevent him from getting another tired shoulder, which ended his season a month early last year.

Now, as I remember it, Papelbon's shoulder was not simply TIRED, but IN MORE PIECES THAN A SHOULDER SHOULD BE IN. Here's the injury report from Rototimes.com:

September 6, 2006: Sox medical director Thomas Gill said the ball of the shoulder joint had slipped slightly forward, but not completely out of the joint to the point where it would be considered a dislocation.

Woe unto those who falsify or downplay injury reports. My ass gets tired from sitting here all day, but it doesn't "slip slightly forward."

Yours in the hopes the rotation falls apart around his shoulders,
