Nice article on the Papelbon twins. Both are in the minors one with the Sox (Josh) and the other with the Cubs (Jeremy). Both seem to give a ton of credit to their success to bro Jon.
It will be interesting to see how these guys do...especially Josh.

"But we learned a lot from him," Jeremy said. "Coming up through high school, he was a senior when we were freshmen and he sort of took us under his wing."
At Bishop Kenny High in Jacksonville, Jonathan pitched two no-hitters as a senior and was drafted in the 40th round by the Athletics. But the twins won a state title as seniors.
"We sort of one-upped him," Joshua said. "We rag on him about it. Of course, he's in the major leagues and we're in the minors now. So we can't say anything."

Joshua, a submarine-style, right-handed reliever with Class A Greenville, was drafted by the Red Sox in the 48th round last year. He had 13 saves in 25 games for short-season Lowell in 2006. He has eight saves and a 1.67 ERA this year, and had a streak of 14 appearances without allowing an earned run end Sunday when he gave up two against West Virginia
