Fantasy Analysis
Wood owns a 3.43 ERA and typically is just a middle reliever. He was probably given the chance on Monday to keep Joakim Soria fresh for the rest of the week in more pressure situations. Wood has five wins, three holds and also blew a save this year. Fantasy owners should continue to ignore Wood as he's just not worth owning in any format. (Updated 08/29/2011).
