Talk:Cubs Handling Wood With Caution/@comment-93339-20060422184111

I agree DNL...He has one of top 5 fastballs in the majors and a decent curve as his #2 pitch. If he just has to go one inning giving all he&quot;s got with those two pitches and his cutter as a third pitch, then we could be talking about one of the premier closers in the league. In his first 15 pitches of a game, his ERA was 3.38 in 2003, 2.51 in 2004, and 2.25 in 2005 and that is with him having to pace himself for the rest of the game, although he did have some relief appearances in 2005.
