Great point.

Seriously, this team’s luck sometimes. Whatever, I guess. Doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme.

If the alternative is anything less than a 100% Wood, I think we’re far better off with Perez as our closer to be honest.

I’m experiencing some normal spring soreness. Nothing to worry about. See you in May.

Not really upset. Not really surprised.

I’m confused. Does this mean that PerezRight gets to develop his closerness without the pressure of being anointed His Closerness? Or does what he shows as temporary closer not mean anything in demonstrating his closeness because it was without the pressure of being His Closerness?

I don’t think it means anything.

The 9th is the 9th. Either you pitch worse that inning, or you don’t.

I pitch equally as well. Ergo, I’m a closer.

Though I look right at home, I still feel like an exile

I really liked Antonetti’s take on this in the Annual. He kind of sold me.

I was just trying to set up a Glengarry joke.

I know that Brick alluded to it but if Wood fully recovers, could that increase his tradeability as the vesting option becomes less of a certainty?

by stuart dean on Mar 20, 2010 5:42 PM EDT reply actions

I think it does. He’ll have two months to pitch respectably and drive up trade value.

If he’s healthy, there are a whole lot of teams who will want a two-month Kerry Wood rental but wouldn’t have considered anything close to a $15 million commitment.
