Cool

Good call on Kerry Wood. I've run three careers using Rolen's rosters and Wood has only survived one of them successfully. In one, he was struck down by a career ending injury in 2003 and in another, after a trade to another team (I think the Mets), Wood went 14-42 and eventually disappeared. The one time he was successful, he won the 2005 Cy Young award with a 21-5 record and a 2.88 ERA. Too much of a gamble when you can get some other guys who are almost sure-fire bets year in and year out. You get Pedro (although a lot more money) and you are almost guaranteed 17-25 wins a year for eight years.
