Kerry Wood injury

Its now become a factor and i dont see Wood coming back anytime in the near future. But it might not be as bad to lose him as some people think for a short time period. If this really is just a blister problem and nothing that the organization is hiding then he will come back from this. So im hoping that Mr. Hendry goes out and picks up another reliever because in my eyes that would help alot. I dont care what people really think about Howry but in my eyes he is wearing out and not the same pitcher he once was. So if Hendry goes out and brings in a Huston Street or Brian Fuentes then that would be great. Just picture our bullpen when Woody does come back. You would have Wood closing with Marmol and Street/Fuentes in late inning situations and can take stress off of Howry. Not only would this be insurance for the Wood problem but also for Marmols struggles for the past 3 weeks. I do see Marmol getting back on track tho. I dont know what it would take to get a late inning guy of that caliber but it is just a thought.
