Mike-Timlin

  Michael August (Mike) Timlin (born March 10, 1966 in Midland, Texas) is a relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who is currently playing for the Boston Red Sox

An important man in the Boston bullpen and a veteran setup man, Timlin has a good command of his 93-MPH fastball. He also throws a decent slider and a sinker that have a downward break, so he induces a significant number of ground balls. He holds runners well enough to give his catcher a chance to throw them out on stolen base attempts.

In 2004 Timlin made 76 pitching appearances, the third most in Red Sox history and tied for fourth in American League history. On September 3, he made his 800th major league appearance, becoming only the 29th pitcher in major league history to reach that mark.

As of 2005, Timlin is the only active player to have played on three non-New York Yankees championship teams (the 1992 and 1993 Toronto Blue Jays and the 2004 Boston Red Sox).
