5th Starter Prediction

I'd place my bets on Wood, how about you guys?

They could give it to Edwin and use Wood in the pen as a second lefty.

 

I don't think it matters a whole lot, though.

@Cubs rotation to start season: Lester/Arrieta/Hammel/Wood/Hendricks. Jackson in bullpen.

I assume that Wood before Hendricks is only to break up the two lefties. I'm alright with that.

Eventually it's going to be Wada, and he'll be better than either Wood or Jackson.

Agreed. Wood or Jackson traded (preferably Jackson) and the other to the pen when TW is healthy. There should really be no expectation of a legitimate return. I suppose if Wood starts out really strong there could be a larger market; but not all that overly optimistic. I'm just really happy that these fringe-roster cuts/decisions are essentially the only hand-wringing going on with the team. So [expletive] excited about tomorrow night and the future.

 

Off topic but just wanted to throw in - that video board looks fucikng amazing and I can't wait to see it Sunday night.

Is "Jaxon" not a thing anymore?

Technically it's Hendricks. Wood is our #4 starter.

With Rondon, Strop, Ramirez, Coke, Motte, and Grimm joining our $13MM mop up man in the pen, I'm not at all unhappy with any of it. Interested to see what happens when Wada and Turner are healthy.
