Wake went to the DL time for the Sox to give Charlie Zink his shot at the bigs. If you think they should call up someone else argue it

Ok today the Boston Red Sox placed knuckleballer Tim Wakefeild onto the DL with a shoulder injury. He isnt going to miss more than 2 starts so I think its time to call up Charlie Zink and give him his shot. Heres why

1. He is about to turn 29 older this year but never in his career has he made a start in the bigs. So now that a starter went on the DL and with Masterson a starter and Colon injured he should get his shot. Who knows if he will ever get a chance at the bigs.

2. He has been the best pitcher for AAA Pawtucket so far this year going 13-4 with a 2.89 ERA. He has absoutly dominated the hitters that are closest to the MLB level. He averages 6 innings a start which isnt great but then only three IP is needed from the pen. He has ptiched great and if not for the ridiculous depth at Boston would have already got a shot.

3. Wakes a knuckleballer and so is Zink. I know Zink wont be as good probally but we have a catcher that can catch it and theres a good shot he could baffle two teams with the knuckler.

Theres my reasoning if you disagree say who you think should be called up and THROWDOWN


they shouldnt bring anyone up this guy needs a shot in the bigs, and he has a lot of experience. he can help the redsox win aganist the rays, and help as a makesift pitcher to help the sox


good way to ruin this throwdwon now accept a draw


Forfeited Turn


I was right so you should forfeit
