They should just release him, he can't stay healthy and he will never again be healthy. He should just retire, his arm is dead and he will never have a good season. He's a waste of a roster spot and should just be let go. Sucks to have your career end up the way his did.

For a Cubs fan, it is truely painful to watch the storlines of both Wood and Prior. They were awesome a couple years back. The Cubs are really cursed!

As for the weakness in Wood's arm. What do you expect when you have constant issues. You never really get a chance to build the strength. If it isn't a torn rotator cuff, it is tendenitis. Whatever.
