Insert (Kerry) Wood here

Wood has had zero arm problems as a reliever. I wouldn't be too worried about his health. 4 of his 6 blown saves last year came in April/Early May before he really learned how to close. Once he did, he took off. Wound up taking the NL lead in saves before the blister came about.

I got to see Wood grow more and more comfortable as a closer last year. I don't think he's scratched the surface yet. He's a guy who's shown he can pitch well in the post season. I'll always love my Cubs, but I won't be upset if Wood wins a ring with the Tribe. I'm still a little pissed for the Cubs kicking him to the curb.

I really like this move. He hasn't had arm problems out of the bullpen like Zepplen said, and I like him better than Borowski. You know that with Wood most of the time you're going to get a good performance. With Browski, even though he lead the AL in saves with 45 in 2007, he still scared me every time because it was never 1-2-3 game over.
