Is the specter of him coming back for one year if he took it THAT bad? He's a Type A free agent and when signed elsewhere would have at least gotten the Cubs a high draft pick to help rebuild their TERRIBLE system! I can understand not offering to Howry since his value is way down and you really didn't want him on the staff, but I don't get the other scenario. Why did the Cubs not offer arbitration to Woodsie?
