A day after undergoing surgery to repair a herniated disk in his lower back,
Tim Wakefield was upbeat and said he fully expected to be ready to pitch to
start 2010 season, and possibly beyond.
"Everything was awesome, the whole procedure went as planned, and even
post-op, meeting with the surgeon... he said everything went perfect,"
Wakefield said this afternoon.
Wakefield is up and walking around following the procedure, performed at
Mass. General Hospital, and he will now begin a gradual rehab with the goal
of being 100 percent by spring training. He expects to begin his offseason
program in four to six weeks.
"[The surgeon] said you look perfect and you should be ready to go by spring
training," Wakefield said. Talking with the surgeons today, everything looks
awesome, I'm up and moving around, I'm not very sore at all, so I'm looking
forward to getting into my rehab and getting ready for next year."
Wakefield was excellent in the first half of the season and his 11-3 record
earned him his his first career All-Star appearance. The 43-year-old
knuckleballer then suffered a herniated disk that limited him to only four
starts in the second half of the season.
The disk problem put pressure on the sciatic nerve running down Wakefield's
leg, and limited the pitcher's ability to field his position. He was placed
on the disabled list after the All-Star break, and received several cortisone
shots, with mixed results. Once he returned in late August, his starts down
the stretch run were irregular, as he was slotted intermittently on seven or
eight days rest to give the other starters a day off.
"We tried the easy route with cortisone injections to try to get me on the
field, and it worked once and it didn't work the other three times,"
Wakefield said. "It was very frustrating that I was doing everything possible
to try to get on the field, and try to get healthy, and to try to prove that
I could pitch in the postseason, and it just didn't work out."
Now that he can reasonably expect to start the season in good health,
Wakefield is looking ahead -- towards the goals he still hopes to accomplish
before retiring.
"I do have some goals in mind. I obviously want to get to 200 wins, and the
second one obviously is to try to become the all-time leader in wins in Red
Sox history. I'm 18 away from that. Way past that? I really can't tell you,"
Wakefield said.
Before the back problem cropped up, Wakefield's biggest limitation was his
throwing shoulder. The pitcher has a torn labrum, the kind of injury that
flares up with heavy usage. In the 2007 and 2008 seasons, Wakefield wore down
after the All-Star break. Last offseason, he worked on strengthening the
shoulder, and the light workload this season may have inadvertently helped,
as well: Wakefield said the shoulder is in excellent shape.
"My shoulder actually is phenomenal. I really stayed on top of it a lot
more," Wakefield said, adding later, "This year I didn't feel any fatigue all
year long, and it's probably a good sign that I'm following the right program
and I'm on the right track to keep my shoulder healthy."
Wakefield is not yet technically under contract for 2010. The pitcher and the
team have long operated with a recurring $4 million option. Last week,
general manager Theo Epstein implied that the team expects the pitcher to be
in the fold come 2010.
"Wake is someone who is in our plans and we hope he makes starts for us next
year as well, and is part of the rotation," Epstein said. The decision on the
option must be made just after the World Series.
