My feelings on the releasing of Mirabelli are that Doug was screwed over by Boston because he was given a contract this past year, if Boston wanted to release him why didn't they do it then? I'm starting to think they did this so Wakefield wouldn't go. Wakefield also got screwed in this too. He lost a friend and a consistent reliable catcher behind the plate. If Wakefield retires short of reaching his goals of 200 wins and most wins in a red sox uniform for any other reason then injuries, I will know that it will be a result of this. This year I will be following each game that Wakefield pitches and keeping track of every passed ball that is allowed and the resulting runs that are scored because of it. I know it won't be as bad as Josh Bard because Cash had success last year but it will not be the same as mirabelli. I wish I could measure the effect of not pitching to mirabelli on Wakefield but there is no possible way to do this.
