I just dropped him outright for an open roster spot to un-DL a player. On my 28-man roster in a 9 team league, Kerry Wood was deemed my least valuable player. What a disgrace.
Every time Wood has been healthy this year I have tried to trade him. Finally got a taker a little over a week ago. I gave up Wood and Percival and got Westbrook and F. Cordero. Not great value in return, but sure looks better than the nothing I would have if I hadn't dealt. Timing is everything.

As an owner who had Wood on a keeper team from 00-04, I can tell you that you don't know too much about him.
One of the best moves I made for 05 is keeping Clemens over Wood (much to everyone's surprise) and avoided him like the plague at the draft, picking Beckett and Burnett over him.
Even if he is healthy (which is a BIG if), he will toy with you by dominating start followed by a debacle. This will repeatedly happen over and over again until you come to a realization that he is nothing but another injury prone player who never fulfilled his potential.
