Jonathan Papelbon is focused on winning another World Series title in Boston, not his pending free agency. Papelbon hasn't ruled out a future in Boston beyond 2011, but he's aware that others have considered it. "Yeah, I know. Why does everybody assume that? Did you come up with that idea?" Papelbon said. "Well, like you said, that's an assumption. For me, I just kind of leave it at that. I don't really sit there and think every day or every time I'm going to go out there and play, 'Oh, this could be my last time in a Red Sox uniform' or 'This could be my last time on the Red Sox.' Whatever. Honestly, I'm not going to think about that." As for whether the Red Sox and Papelbon stick with each other beyond 2011, that issue will be tabled for a while as the sides try to make another championship run together. "I saw the acquisitions that Theo made, and I saw how Theo was able to fill the holes on our team that obviously we lacked last year by not making the playoffs and, personally, I think he did a [heckuva] job, and I think we're in a position that it's going to be put up or shut up," Papelbon said. "He's put us in a spot where he's given us all the tools to go out there and succeed, and if I'm worrying about free agency and David [Ortiz] is worried about getting another deal and somebody else is worrying about this, that or the other, we won't be the team we're supposed to be. I'm not really thinking about it, to be totally honest. I say that and I'm being 100 percent honest."
