This is a very respectable move...Wake deserves this as he's sacraficed more than any athlete in a long time.* He can realistically go on pitching effectively for another 5 or 6 years (or more).
Tim Wakefield is one of the best team players the Sox have ever seen. They've changed his role about 47 times and he's never complained. Wake, it's great that you'll be back for another 2 + seasons.* As far as the 'C' on his jersey, maybe we should put an 'A' on Wake's Jersey, for assistant captain...LoL...
Anyways, I love this move -- a great gesture to Wake by the front office.* I can't imagine that he's asking for much more (if*any) than he's already being paid, and the the guy's a stud.* You can mail in at least 15 wins a year from Wake, and being a*knuckle-baller*he could probably pitch until he's 50!* *
