Should the Yankees trade for Jonathan Papelbon?

I know, I know. After years with the Red Sox and being just completely unlikeable most of the time, you'd probably say "no way" to the idea of trading for Jonathan Papelbon. I wouldn't even fight you on it, but he's at least worth looking into as we approach the trade deadline. Now that the Yankees have gotten rid of David Carpenter, who just did not become the reliever they needed him to be, the New York bullpen is extremely lacking in right-handed middle relief options. With Andrew Miller hurt–and who knows for how long–the Yankees could use some serious firepower and Papelbon might be able to offer some.
