Indians sign Wood

Editor's note: John actually wrote this, not Andy

MLB.com is reporting the Indians have reached an agreement with Kerry Wood on a two-year deal, worth around $20 million.

Wood was my choice if we needed to sign a closer. The funny thing about it is that the front office thought that Orlando Hudson at second was probably too big a risk due to his wrist injury. However, when I think of Kerry Wood, I think injury. Nevertheless, I thought Wood was our best bet. Trevor Hoffman I thought was a little old, and Brian Fuentes was probably too expensive. So what do you think?

I don't have any details on how much money we ponied up because heck I'm writing this story on a blackberry. I do expect this is the biggest news we'll have in Cleveland this offseason. I could be wrong.

You clearly should have taken the title in an "Indians Have Wood" direction...

I'm saving them up for the 2009 season.
