witesoxfan Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 It's snowing in North Dakota, the NFL draft is being talked about all over, and Kerry Wood is injured. What else is new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it's minor, he's gonna get a rep as being awfully fragile these days. Whther it's fair or not is not important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabroni Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 wow, not good, he done. When is he signed through again? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Until 2006 and they even gave him a no-trade clause. They could have traded him to the Rangers for Mark Teixeira this offseason as well. :headshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then, he's slimmed down and seems to be breaking down a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes right down to it, Wood is a hell of a good pitcher, and is ace caliber, but probably around a 2 or 3 pitcher. And while Teixeira is a monster, I still think I'd rather have an ace over a monster hitter. They do also have a pretty solid 1Bman in Derrek Lee...and I'm not sure how Teix would do in the OF...he'd probably end up servicable, but that is not a guarantee. It does suck for Wood...he has some pretty wicked stuff, and when he is on, he is untouchable...but he is pretty fragile. That's just unfortunate.

GoodAsGould Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 well Teix is a natural 3B if im correct but they have Aramis there.... but they also debated making Teix in OF this year for the rangers b4 they signed Hidalgo so he prob could of been a RF for the cubs maybe. And unlike Burnitz who is a downgrade from Sosa, Teix would be a major upgrade and what 24 years old...... and a borass client :puke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind how horrible the Cubs' outfield is and the fact that Wood gets hurt every season. Add in the fact that the Cubs have good pitching prospects in the minors.

He's already a stud, he just has a chance to be a marquee player and will get even better. I'd do the deal in a heartbeat though, Wood is hurt every year and IMO isnt worth big bucks. I'd possibly deal with borASS though to get Teixeira though, he's a good one and is gonna be a great one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want to win now, I'm gonna take Zambrano-Prior-Maddux-Wood-Rusch/Dempster with an OF of Hairston-Patterson-Burnitz over Zambrano-Prior-Maddux-Rusch-Dempster with an OF of Hairston-Patterson-Teix. Prospects are nothing until they come up and do well. You can also get solid OFers at the deadline for much less then an ace, which is probably what the Cubs would need. I would take a risk on a guy who has shown he can be a stud in the past but has injury problems over a stud offensive player...yes, that's basically what I'm saying. I'm not saying I wouldn't consider the trade...if Texas threw in another piece, I might just make the deal...but I don't think I'd do Wood for Teix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 We should just leave up a sticky thread for Kerry Wood injuries. That way if there's ever a year he DOESN'T get injured we can make a separate post about it. Seriously though, I don't like to see players get injured unless they do steroids and then I don't mind so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is injury prone...but so is Frank Thomas. Doesn't mean he is bad because of it, just that you have to be more careful with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had All Star numbers as a 24 year old you gotta think hes gonna get better or at least put up those numbers consistently, especially as a switch hitting first baseman, plus he's a pretty good fielder 24 E's in 142 games...

I gotta agree except....how is he a good fielder with 24 errors in 142 games? Thats 24 errors....IN LESS THAN A FULL SEASON! That's a helluva lot of errors.
