For me over the next say three years I would take Papelbon as the closer and Price as the fifth starter.

Sure I'll take him in the pen or something, but no way should Jon Lester not be there, even Burnett as much as I hate him. Price should be one of the relievers as an honorable mention of sort if anything. And still have to take Mo as your closer. You may say cause of multiple innings, or 0.00 ERA in the playoffs, but Mo has the track record. No other guy you can leave it with than Mo.
