Wake An All-Star?

Another solid performance by Tim Wakefield helped the Sox to an 8-2 win over the Florida Marlins. With his 9th victory there is talk now of Wakefield going to the All-Star game for the first time in his career.

It would be quite a feat for the 42-year old knuckleballer to join an All-Star team. In his career Wake has been a starter, a reliever & a closer. He controls an uncontrollable pitch which is why he has lasted so long in the bigs. In business you would say that he has a niche market.

If this is Wakefield's last year, it would be a nice touch to see him in the All-Star game.
