Well ... if there's an opposite to the Manny Ramirez story this is it ... I hope the kid pulls it off tonight.

It’s been quite a journey for Zink, who began his career in 2001 with Yuma of the independent Western League, signed with the Red Sox as an undrafted free agent a year later, and became a full-time knuckleballer in 2003.
Since then, the 28-year-old has experienced a breakout 2003 season in which he was named Red Sox minor league pitcher of the year, and a breakdown 2004 when he was 1-10.
This year, he’s 13-4 with a 2.89 ERA in 25 starts for Pawtucket. He leads the International League in innings (152), is tied for first in wins, and is third in ERA.
