Rick Ankiel did it. Prince did it. Now it's your turn. Having read that the Cubs are interested in trading you I have no doubt that this would be the best decision for you to make at this point in your career.
Please consider it.
Injuries and bad breaks have derailed a potential Hall of Fame career. Before your injuries you were an enormously talented pitcher. Possessing some of the best stuff, poise and pitching command that I have seen in the modern era of baseball. Unlike Ankiel, your demise was physical and not mental. Now, your team wants to dump you.
Please save face and reinvent yourself. Now is the time to explore a career other than baseball, a career in sports but just not the playing kind, or to show the world you have other talents. Heck, if nothing else maybe you could even try to make a comeback as an outfielder (just don't take HGH).
Or, accept the opportunity to move to a new environment, get healthy again and show the baseball world that you still have it. Either way, it has to be a reinvention.
I'll be there ready to cheer for you when you do land on your feet again. It really kills me to hear that the team that thought you were going to be their own version of Roger Clemens now has to consider shipping you off because it would be a dumb move not to.
Reinvent yourself in some way or another. I'll even help you pick out a weird, unpronounceable symbol that you can change your name to if you wish.

Good stuff as always.
I saw where Wood was resigned for one year. It's his last chance with the Cubs.
Thanks.
Yeah, I think with Dempster's struggles last year that Wood may be moved to closer and I fully expect him to have a great season.
I also expect Prior to make a solid comeback with the Padres.
