Love it. Ive actually been thinking for a while that Wake's days as a starter may be numbered. Of course, this was before he pitched a total gem last night. But have been thinking that since the sox weakness this year is in the bullpen. Specifically, middle relief need for another setup guy. Delcarmen has been a disappointment and Hansen...sill an unknown. Delcarmen and Hansen are so alike, its unreal. Both are showing great stuff. Both can't do it consistently. Would suggest that Wake goes into the pen to be a 6th, sometimes 7th inning guy. This assumes Colon can stay healthy. And some combo of Bucholz and Schilling can fill a slot in the rotation this year. Also add Masterson to the pen as another setup guy with Oki. As for Timlin, maybe its time we say goodbye and thanks for all the memories. I don't suggest that lightly. Timlin has been a key cog over the years and he deserves a big, big thank you.
