Wood's a no-go

Frontpaged by jscape2000: There goes one crazy idea off the chalk board.


Kerry Wood has agreed to a contract to stay with the Cubs. The deal is worth $4.2M for one year, with a chance at an extra $3.45 in incentives. I was kind of hoping the Yanks would take a shot at him, what with the dearth of quality bullpen arms out there. Not that you know  for certainty what you are really gonna get with Wood, but it may have been worth the shot. Now I think the Cubs gave him more money than Yanks would have offered- perhaps their version of a "thank you" a la the Yanks with Mo and Jorge.

Perhaps the Yanks can turn their attention to filling the lefty void in the pen. I posted a question on the Mahay thread a couple days back about two guys at Scranton-- Charlie Manning and Ben Kozlowski --  who are lefties whose numbers look good, but I really know zilch about them. Anyone think either of the could win the lefty job in the pen out spring training?  Or any other lefties within the orginzation that could?
