The Red Sox announced today that they have exercised the club's $ 4 million dollar option for their most tenured player.
Wakefield's 10-11 record in 2008 was a bit misleading. The bull pen surrendered leads roughly five to six times that cost him wins.
I like the move. Wake eats up innings (181 in 2008) and is a strong fourth or fifth starter. With Beckett, Lester and Dice-K in the first three spots, the team can afford a guy like Wake at the back at the rotation. More than likely, this means the fifth spot will be between Michael Bowden, Clay Buchholz or Justin Masterson. We'll examine the upcoming free agent troops in a couple of weeks.
Resigning Wake will make my wife happy. She enjoys watching his sweaty neck on the Plasma HD. Don't ask me.
