While many Cubs fans were happy to see Kerry Wood re-signed this offseason, I was confused. I understand people love him, but what is his purpose on this team. The Cubs are probably 2-3 years away from contending, so why wouldn't you be testing the young arms in the minors to see who may be able to help in a couple years, instead of signing a guy who is about done with his career, got hurt again this year, and isn't all that effective when he is pitching? I would rather have Kenny Powers pitching for the Cubs...or Rod Beck! Too soon?
(In my defense, a dead Rod Beck might be better than Kerry Wood at this point)
