His surgeon said there is only a 6 percent chance that Wakefield will have a recurrence of the disc problems that hurt him this year. "I feel phenomenal," Wakefield said. "As soon as I got the grogginess out of my system from the anesthesia, I was doing laps around the nurses' station. I feel good. I'm not limping around. There's no more pain shooting down my leg, calf, hamstring and hip. I'm working to regain the strength I lost in my leg." http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Tim_Wakefield/632129 632129 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:36:03 EDT kffl.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Tim_Wakefield/632129 After undergoing back surgery in October, Tim Wakefield (back) is walking without the limp in his left After undergoing back surgery in October, Tim Wakefield (back) is walking without the limp in his left leg that hampered him during the latter part of the 2009 season.
