I’m all for a player spending his entire career with a team and am sometimes shocked at the players who’ve moved on. (Johnny Damon comes to mind) But with all due respect to Mrs. Wakefield, both his wife and his Mom, the Red Sox are doing no one any favors by holding onto the knuckleballer. No one that is except for opposing teams.
I know it can’t be as easy as the A’s and the Twins made it seem, but Geez it just doesn’t look that hard to hit!
We’re talking about Major League hitters here, the majority of which wouldn’t be in the Bigs if they weren’t good. Alright, so they have to make an adjustment after seeing Wakefield in their first at bat. Once that’s done it’s Let The Fireworks Begin!
Wakefield needs to either be more crafty, you know – mix up his pitches or maybe develop something new to add to his arsenal ’cause the knuckball ain’t gettin’ it done.
