Kerry Wood Gets Abused By Blue Jays

Kerry Wood's fastball was ineffective against the Blue Jays and his command was suspect. He gave up two runs on on two hits and a walk. He did look impressive striking out Wells, but outside of that it was a terrible outing for Wood.

Jensen Lewis got the save in the 12th inning, relieving Perez and striking out Aaron Hill to end the inning. Lewis looked very good, but I do not feel that there is any threat to Wood's job. Yet.

It was his first blown save of the season.

Closers In Line

With many closers starting off quite poorly, there are a few setup men out there that can evolve into serviceable closers. Manny Corpas(COL)- Huston Street is leaving off right where he left off last year. 5.40 ERA and 2.40 WHIP. When Billy Beane gets rid of you he knows your best days are behind you. Corpas has been lights out so far. Not allowing any runs and has a WHIP under .50. Corpas will be the closer by mid-May. Michael Wuertz(OAK)- Everyone is starting to catch on to Brad Ziegler and Joey Devine has visited Dr. James Andrews which is never good. There are a ton of young arms out there in Oakland but as of right now Wuertz has been the front runner to replace Ziegler assuming he doesn't turn it around. Wuertz only owned in 3% of Yahoo leagues. Jensen Lewis(CLE)- This is a long shot but Kerry Wood is one blister on his finger from being out for the season. Jensen has not been great to start the year but last year he closed 13 of 14 games for the Tribe. Keep Jensen on your watch list he's only owned in 2% of Yahoo leagues. Scout Berardi
