I agree with the premise that 1 million for a pitcher like Nelson is not a bad deal. It definitely won't hurt the team that signs him for that. But to say we whiffed is a bit dramatic. There is a reason he is getting that kind of deal and it's because he's coming off serious injuries and hasn't really been good other than one year, before the injuries. Wood is on another planet than Nelson and everyone knows it. It's unfair to put those two in the same category. Wood is still also younger than Nelson. I wasn't aware Wood was seeking a three year deal. If that's the case, he can take a hike, but I never read that anywhere.
