I just really think trading wood is gonna bite us big time
Trading Wood could bite us but honestly as much as I liked him, I think he was performing above his ceiling. He is a back end or mid rotation guy that has been pitching like a #2. His velocity is down some, K/9 way down, opponents hitting him better, BABIP is up a lot, may be nothing but we may have sold him at his peak as well. 50/50 either way but again I liked him and probably stuck with him for another year anyway. Because he is still effective right now.

What will our staff be next year? So much depends on who develops. And honestly don't know if we try to sign someone or not. There are multiple ways we can go about filling our needs in the offseason but taking on salary for a bat is probably where I would go to begin with. Look at some real bull pen help. We have a lot of starting pitching depth down through the organization so unless I get really good value for someone, I'm probably buying a bat and catcher.
