Word is he's throwing 98 in Spring Training.  I actually suspect Marmol will close, but I can't help rooting for K-Wood.

Really??

K-Wood has never had a whip below 1.18 (career 1.26) and has a career 3.67 era. Sure, the move to the bullpen should help those numbers, but what exactly indicates he will exceed his previous statistical output and have a career year? More likely, he will exceed his previous injury path and have career ending injury. Put me down for:

Innings pitched: 47
ERA: 3.46
Whip: 1.25
Saves: 15
Strikeouts: 44
Arm Injuries: 2
