Kerry Wood Offers A Useful Reminder

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Chicago Cubs

For those of you pining for the return of Kerry Wood (and his $10 million salary), this real-time trip down memory lane may be helpful:

PHOENIX -- It could be something, it could be nothing. But the plans for Indians closer Kerry Wood, scratched from his scheduled appearance in a Cactus League game Saturday because of soreness in his right lat muscle, to go back to work have changed.

Wood was expected to throw a bullpen session Monday and appear against the Reds on Wednesday. That was the word from Wood himself, anyway.

But on Monday, manager Manny Acta announced that Wood did not throw that bullpen, and Acta did not offer a timetable for Wood's return to exhibition action.

"We're going to take it easy with Kerry," Acta said. "The medical staff will put together a plan for him. We want to be careful. He's our closer. He has plenty of time to get ready, and there's no reason to rush him back out there."

Even if Wood is perfectly fine and ready for Opening Day - or any other day - is he (and his $10 million salary) really the answer?

No.

It's amazing to me that Kerry Wood can be a perennial injury risk but still command a $10MM a year salary. Makes zero sense.
