Kerry Wood's "miracle" recovery

[tomwopat]

Kerry Wood has been throwing as hard as 95mph, and has had two very good rehab starts. He's slated to return "in two weeks, if not sooner".

 

Should we be concerned? He looks to bolster a bullpen that has had some bright spots in Marmol and Wuertz, and recently regained their closer in Dempster.

Is he for sure gonna be in the pen? Or could he start? I can't believe he can throw 95, that is crazy. If he does come back, how soon before hes hurt again?

Hours, if not minutes.

make sure you read thru to the last paragraph...its must read material

Did he change his delivery? If not, he'll be hurt again, and probably soon.

He will be relegated to the bullpen. Doctors have told him, that in all essence, he is on a 50 pitch-count for the rest of his career.

 

At least, that's what I read... and of course, now I can't find the article.

[tomwopat]

From what I have heard there is concern that he hasn't changed his delivery.

I know what you're saying, but that kind of sounds like he'll have to retire after 50 more in-game throws. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

That blog was funny. The author as a Cubs fan hopes he doesn't pitch for the Cubs cause it will cause them to fall apart. Just another poke by the baseball Gods at the Chicago Cubs.

Bingo. He will be back on the DL before august is over.

2 months of healthy Kerry Wood throwing 95 makes them a better team. We would be foolish to not be concerned. maybe all he has is heat though and we can sit and wait.

Doesn't this belong in the Curse the Cubs thread?http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
