Knuckleballer Tim Wakefield finally got his 200th win on his ninth try on Sept. 13. Now he?s hoping to add a few more to the total. According to agent Barry Meister, Wakefield wants to come back and pitch another season in 2012.
Meister said it would be a ?shame? if Wakefield didn?t finish his career with the Red Sox, but that he?s currently focusing on several National League clubs in talks.
Wakefield has spent 17 of his 19 seasons with the Red Sox, and he?s third on the team?s all-time wins list with 186, leaving him just six behind both Roger Clemens and Cy Young.?However, while the Red Sox might be open to re-signing him as a utility pitcher, it?s doubtful that they would guarantee him a rotation spot after he finished the last two seasons with ERAs of 5.34 and 5.12. There are surely better opportunities available for him in the other league.
Wakefield, who has about eight months on Omar Vizquel, was the oldest player in either league at age 44 last season. He would take a backseat in 2012, though,?if soon-to-be 49-year-old Jamie Moyer can pull off a comeback.
