Kerry Wood

Kerry Wood of the Cubs was reassured by Lou Piniella he is still the closer for the Cubs even after blowing 3 saves in his last 4 chances. I don't buy this at all. A closer who is blowing saves on a consistent basis will not last long as a closer and for owners who have Wood, you better make sure you have some insurance. Go out and grab Bob Howry or Carlos Marmol of the Cubs just in case Wood is replaced. After Ryan Dempster left the bullpen for the starting rotation the only people left in line for the closer position is Howry and Marmol.

Owners should keep a CLOSE eye on this situation because if Wood continues on the path of blown saves THERE WILL be a change of pitcher when the 9th innings rolls around.
