man the commentators on ESPN radio today calling the game were sure sucking the wandy rod dick hard until about the 2nd inning
Without looking at his stats, I would venture to guess this is the first year he's put up decent numbers. I've faded him A LOT over the last few years because he had always been a gascan. Maybe he's turned it around, but I'm skeptical...
Wakefield... is neither overated or underated. He is a 42 yr Knuckleball, who makes 4 million a year, and year in and year out eats innings and gets 10 plus wins a year.. He does everything the team asks him, start...long relief.. etc.
Overated is a young gun who makes 10+ million a year and continues to underpeform..
WHAT Wakefield Overated.. thats the last name I would pull out of the hat... A guy in his 40's overated.... Ok pal
Are you looking at 1 game? or the season? Confused here? He is 42 and eats a ton of innings.. What he does for that pitching staff can not be measured.. Big freaking deal.. he is their #4 or #5 starter.
Who cares what the moneyline was? red Sox at home after a loss vs Pelfrey.. your never going to get value? And didn't he go deep into the game and they won the game.
I have a feeling you will not find 1 person on this Forum.. that will call a 42 yr old pitcher who gets the teams 10-12 wins, cost them a minimal 4 million a year ( price for a avg utility man and eats over 180 innings a year, saves the bull pen etc...... Overated? )
