Mike Wood  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Wood, and that's saying a lot. But Wood, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Wood's curveball tends to hang. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Wood is nothing special in the field. Wood is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Wood has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Wood as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
But if you ask me, I'll pass on Wood.
