Wakefield's option activated

[riverside sluggers]

This was a no-brainer at $4 million. Wake likely entering his last year in the bigs, or maybe just in the rotation.

Good move not real big on the cap, let him go out in class with schilling. He deserves it he has been a Loyal pressence on the team for awhile. and he can still eat some innings for them, but my only is concern is going to be who will catch him? Mirabelli isn't going to get it done, get that prospect we got in the well's trade, get him practising now so we don't go threw a Bard situation again. Theres time to practice and from what Ive heard this kid could replace Tek. He needs to sit and learn from Tek so he knows what hes doing when its time to take over the staff.

I agree, good move. He's a great guy to have around.

good move, before his injury last season he was our 2nd most consistent starter. He was also our ace 2 years ago. I expect if healthy 12-15 wins with a 4.00 ERA and 200 innings

Still a great guy to have around to solidify the back end of the rotation. It's the front end we have to worry about
