Just a couple things I would like to go over today. First I would like to say to Kerry Wood, GREAT JOB, Mr Wood got his 20th save of the season last night against Baltimore. Three straight batters went down on strikes, Wood looked like a closer who had been in this role his whole life. He finally has the fans, city, and the team behind him. In my league draft this season, I decided to throw out Kerry Wood for a dollar, thinking that the Cubs fans in the draft would jump on him. No one did and I ended up with Kerry Wood for a dollar. For the first couple of weeks of the season I was very upset that I had him on my team, I was convinced that he was going to explode and the cubs had placed there closing faith on a injury stricken pitcher as there closer. Well was I wrong 13 weeks into the season I still have Kerry Wood and have 20 saves to show for it. Since a blown save against Milwaukee on May 1, Wood is 12-for-13 in save chances with a 0.98 ERA and 23 strikeouts to three walks.
Next, Kyle Skipworth the young 18 year old prospect from Florida Marlins signed a 2.3 million dollar signing bonus. What makes this kid special he is a left-hander who can hit with some power and he is a catcher. He gets lot of comparisons to Twin catcher Joe Mauer. He took batting practice last night with the Marlin, he looked a little nervous up there for his first couple at bats but once he got going he was putting the ball into play according to FSN Florida .From the Interview that I saw this kid looks like he is ready to get his career started. As a fantasy player it should be at least a year before we see him behind the plate of any games.
