You really have to wonder what the Cubs are doing in the front office. Here is another example of mismanaging a player's health and career.Cubs' pitcher Kerry Wood has a partial tear in his right rotator cuff, which explains why he has been experiencing shoulder pain even after surgery last September. In a Chicago Tribune article today, Wood had an MRI on the shoulder two weeks ago in Cincinnati, but after conferring with the doctor who performed his surgery last fall, the Cubs called Wood's condition "a slight muscular imbalance." Wood felt the pain indicated something more serious, so he had an arthrogram performed at a local hospital here in Chicago. That's when doctors discovered the partial tear.
A slight muscular imbalance is a far cry from a partial tear in the rotator cuff. What are the Cubs thinking? Cubs management continues to be delusional. Did they not believe Wood when he told them he still had shoulder pain?
No only does this injury jeopardize Wood's career in Chicago, it may mean the end of his baseball career -- period. Very sad situation for a player with so much promise a few years ago. I wonder if there isn't a possible lawsuit in the future over mismanagement.
