    obviously the heater thrown into the stands wasn't cool, but that was an awesome fight. not your typical push and roll around on the ground while your teammates rush out to observer baseball fight, but punching, kicking, double teaming...

    I gotta say to you guys congrats. On paper this is a completely one sided steal. It makes the CC deal look pretty bad. Of course as many have said it depends on if Beane knows something about Harden's arm that the cubs don't, but either way a great gamble. Looking forward to Sheets v Z and CC v Harden in late July.

    why even bring up jeffery maier? his play actually benefitted the team he was a fan of.

    Maybe Ryan's success had something to do with his lack of injuries? Injuries and surgeries take a toll on a pitchers stuff. Agreed, but that wasn't what you argued above. You argued that Wood's nos. are "average" b/c whenever he has led the league in stat like "Ks", he's also led it in walks, plus his ERA has never been better than 8 or 9 in the league. That sounds a lot like Nolan Ryan. The difference is, as you pointed out, he has been hurt much more often. But that does not mean that he is "average" when healthy, which is what you argued. I'm arguing the current version and the kerry wood from the last two years or so is an average pitcher. I pointed out his great season to show that unless he's completely healthy we won't get away with walking so many guys. I think he'll never be completely healthy again and therefore he is average. Is was at that game against the braves, thought for sure he blew out is arm. It was a back muscle connected to a shoulder muscle. Very rare injury for a pitcher, but the brewers are confident this injury if rehabbed correctly will not pose any problems in the future.

    I just think with all the injuries wood is building up it will be hard to return to top notch form. I see him as a #3 for the rest of his career. The thing I think will hurt Wood the most is his lack of control. When you start to lose a bit off your fastball and alittle tilt off your curve/slider, control becomes more and more important. He maybe 28 but that arm is a lot older. Sheets took awhile to develop into the pitcher he is today. I think he's on the up swing though as wood is on the down.

    He was probably a top ten pitcher those seasons, but we're talking now. You think he'll ever return anywhere close to that form? I never said he sucks, but I think he's average at this point.

    Injury prone, yeah. Average, no. There's a difference between being bad, and just being injury prone. Kerry is injury prone, but not near "bad". BTW, how's Ben Sheets' latest rehab going? :wink: Im not saying Kerry Wood is a bad pitcher i'm saying at this point he's average. Maybe that's due to all the injuries, but the last two years have been pretty average. Even in his best years ('01 and '03) he was only 8th and 9th in the league in era. Every year he's been in the top ten in K's he's also been in the top ten in BB. I don't think after all his injuries he can ever return to that 03 form, therefore I think of his as an average pitcher. Ben Sheet's rehab is going well, no set backs yet. He's on pace to start opening day for the 5th straight year. First ST game for him tomorrow.

    Why are cubs fans so up in arms about this? Kerry's been an average and injury prone pitcher for awhile now. I think its time to stop with the sack cloth and ashes every time he has an boo boo.

    Hmmmmm. Youre a regular Baseball almanac. Well is comparing Milwaukee to Chicago really fair. Populations aren't even close. While Chicago's a nice city and all, but for the class its in size wise its at best third behind NYC and LA in terms of the always mentioned "things to do" or what it "has to offer". Chicago residents (or the posers in the burbs and the burbs of the burbs) beat up on Milwaukee just for that reason. So fine keep beating up on your little brother to the north if it makes you feel better.
