Farewell, Tim

Denton wishes Tim Wakefield well, after what may have been his last start for the Red Sox:
... In his 15 seasons with the Sox, Wake has compiled 175 wins, 1,867 strikeouts and 22 saves. He has done whatever was asked of him: starting on short rest, coming out of the bullpen and even closing. Off the field, Wake has been even better. He has been a tireless contributor to the Jimmy Fund, stayed completely scandal-free and just been an all-around nice guy. ...

He's like Troy Brown
A great contributor and clubhouse presence, manages to play multiple roles on the field, sticks with a team for the long run, and has well-deserved championship rings to show for it.

Wake Is One Of The Good Ones, For Sure
I would certainly like to see him on the playoff roster. Why not at least throw him on there in the mop-up/emergency spot that someone else will have if he isn't there?
I can understand it if they leave him off, what with his bad back, but he deserves to be on that roster just for plain old human reasons.
