Cubs re-sign Kerry Wood to a one-year deal

Woody’s coming back! Monday, the Cubs signed Kerry Wood to a one-year deal worth $4.2 million. He’ll be in the thick of the Cubs closer debate. He worked in 22 games in 2007 out of the Cubs bullpen. He had a 3.33 ERA and a 1-1 record. If Wood can regain the “stuff” he had early in his career, he would be a great closer. We all know he can’t throw more than 25 pitches without his arm falling off. So the closer role might be perfect. Whether or not he can change his outlook will be the key to his success. He didn’t pitch in back-to-back games at all this season. If he’s gonna be the closer, the Cubs are going to need him to do that. All that being said, I’m glad Woody is back in the fold. Anyone who smashes Sammy Sosa’s boom box is alright in my book.
