THE CRUCIFIX: Cato: Wood isn't thrilled w/ his role...Will depart in the summer

[Kammrath]

So, can the front office be idiots and trade pennies for a near All-Star at the same time?

I raved about the Wood trade from day one. It was always an "A" move from a GM standpoint. What irked me was how he has been handled, spoken about, and placed behind clear underserving underperformers (like McGee). Now that Wood has been forced into the role that most of us thought he should be in from day one, it turns out he is performing exactly how most of us thought. I give the coaching ZERO credit for anything that has happened with Wood. The trade? GREAT move from day one.
