Kerry Wood

would you all rather see kerry wood start 98 on the mound in chicago or back in iowa. this man might very well be the quintessential cub...except that he's got a brilliant fastball. he's capabable of striking out 10 a game every game...and walking 10 a game every time he takes the mound. my feeling is that he should be allowed to work out his control problems on the big league mound. this is about as good as he's going to get for the next couple years and there's no sense in letting him walk triple a batters when he could walk 'em at wrigley. 11/3/97

I hope the Cubs do not rush Wood to the majors! He stated in an interview with the Tribune recently that he even feels that he is not ready yet. Too many pitching prospects have been rushed to the mound in the past only to find themselves back in the minors or with an injury. Let the guy develop, and when he's ready ... who knows? Another Maddux? or Another Harkey?
