He has been lights out; absolutely what was hoped for in anointing him Closer. Not much is being said about him lately and maybe that’s a good thing. But he deserves his due. Carlos Marmol gets a lot of fuss and is the heir-apparent for years to come (Mariano Rivera comparisons aside). But Woody has gotten it done in a workmanlike way so far this year. And he’s healthy too! …knock on Wood. (add John Smoltz to the PTGHEY - Players That Get Hurt Every Year list I wrote about here.) [...] […] Kerry Wood leads the National League in saves with 17.
