I recall there wasn't consensus agreement that the Reds ought to have traded him for Marshall. As it appears, would you want the guy back? He's turned into a good pitcher on a terrible team.
They had to give up someone, and I still doubt Wood would be in our rotation today. He just needed an opportunity to mature a bit, and I'm happy for him and his success in Chicago. Of course Marshall's present situation gives one pause about the trade. Hopefully he can get healthy and be as effective in the future as he was last season. Dusty certainly is unable to manage around his absence.
Cliff Lee is Woods neighbor. They worked out together this winter. Probably not a coincidence. They should have moved Dusty next door to Walt Alston... or even Tony LaRussa.
