A Wild Thing Thought

This sheet has suggested, among others to do so, that an upgrade of the bullpen would be nice. How's this for a fresh take on an old angle. Kerry Wood for closer. Glendon Rusch has been lights out. He's a lefty, which the rotation lacks when Wood returns. Bobby Brownlie and Angel Guzman will both be rotation eligible in another few months. Wood is better the less time he's in a game (less chances for him to lose his cool over a marginal call).

Now, Wood would want his new contract restructured (he gets bonuses for pitching a certain amount of innings). And it's as realistic a supposition as the Cubs trading for Randy Johnson.

But it's fun to think about.
