Wood to miss three weeksMonday, May 2, 2005This story, saying Wood will be out three weeks, came across the AP wires about 17 minutes ago:
Update 6:38 p.m. CST This news was not unexpected, and I expect Cubdom will actually be a little relieved as we know have something concrete to blame for our troubles. However, it still leaves us with a hole in our rotation that will be there for at least five weeks. According to the article, Wood won't even throw for another three weeks, and then he'll undoubtably be asked to: So, I defintitely believe any notions of sending Ryan Dempster to the bullpen will be put on hold indefinitely. Glendon Rusch will be slotted up into the rotation, and Jon Leicester will probably be recalled from Iowa. Until then, lets review last year, specifically May 27, 2004 when the Cubs had eight players and $37,560,000 on the disabled list. At this point, we have six players on the disabled list, although Scott Williamson doesn't really count since he was signed with full knowledge that he was hurt. So, that gives the Cubs just about $23 million sitting on the disabled list. Thats about $14 million less than last year, but still a considerable sum.

Devil Rays team salary - $34.93mil.
Dempster AND Rusch forced into the lineup each time around might not be such a great thing.
I hope we can get through it alright. More pressure on Prior, Z and Maddux.
