Kerry Wood should get interest as a free agent
Wednesday, Oct 31, 2007 7:42 am EDT
Kerry Wood's fastball hit 98 mph toward the end of the season, and he was unscored on in 18 of 22 appearances. Now, with additional rest for his rehabbed shoulder, Wood's arm strength appears to give him the option of starting or relieving in 2008. But will it be for the Chicago Cubs?
Wood could be a hot commodity, and with Joe Girardi now managing the New York Yankees, Wood could be wearing Yankee pinstripes if he leaves the Cubs. Other teams that figure to be interested include the Texas Rangers, Houston Astros, Arizona Diamondbacks, the Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox and Cincinnati Reds, now managed by his former Cubs skipper, Dusty Baker.

Wood will be back in the Cubs bullpen next year. If anyone tries to make him into a starter again his career will be over, his shoulder just can't handle the abuse of starting.
