honestly, i'd hold on to Wood. there's always risk of him being demoted, but i think he'll have enough of an opportunity in the next couple weeks to prove he belongs in the majors. Leake, while his ERA wasn't too shabby, allowed baserunners left and right. check out his WHIP. Granted, Wood hasn't had many starts so the sample size is a bit small, but his WHIP is half of what Leake's was, even if you ignore his bad outings. Leake was simply lucky. If Dusty decides to keep Leake over Wood, the man's insane. Maloney's just a spot starter to fill in for injuries. he was last year, he will continue to be this year. Dusty's never been a man concerned with his young pitcher's arms, so i'm assuming he'll let Wood do his thing. But he may finally learn his lesson. we'll have to wait and see. but given the options you have, my number one suggestion would be to wait and risk it on Wood. if you're too nervous about the demotion, which is perfectly fine, i'd go with Cueto.
help with mine?
