Problem

"I feel like Cash can do a good job," Wakefield said. "But I'm going to really miss Doug, not only his professionalism and the way he handled me and the comfort level that I had with him, but also his friendship. We've been together for eight years, accumulated a lot of wins and been through a lot of stuff together. It's unfortunate that it happened that way, but you kind of have to get past that and understand that I'm still an employee here and it's their decision to make.

"I spoke with [Cash] afterwards. He feels bad about it, but he's also excited that he's going to catch me. I told him that I don't have any doubts that he'll do a good job, because he proved that last year. It's just sad to see a good friend go, get released and go home. We've been through a lot together, so it's pretty tough."

Just when I thought I couldn't possibly get any more nervous about a Wakefield game, they go and let the only one who can catch him go. Sigh.
