Timlin files for free agency

Mike Timlin could be back next year. He was a much better pitcher this year than he was last year. Even though he is getting up there in age he can still get it done as he proved down the stretch. He is also such an important member of the team's recent history, he was great in '03 and could have pitched the Sox into the World Series if Grady had taken Pedro out. He was a great setup man for Foulke in '04 and he was part of the lights out Timlin-Okie-Pap 7-8-9th innings this year. My brother took this picture of him after game 4 of the World Series...he is holding a 12 pack of beer under his shirt while he is interviewed.
