LEFTY ALEX WOOD COULD FIND A HOME IN THE BRONX!


There's a nice little nugget out there as far as getting some lefty pitching is concerned. It features Alex Wood and the New York Yankees. And so, we were curious to read about it.  Here's the story from The Runner Sports:

"Hitting the free agent market is a 28-year-old left hander from North Carolina: His Name? Alex Wood. Being a starting pitcher AND relief pitcher, he’s a very unique type of talent in this free agent class... 


Wood is a rarity nowadays, rarely do you see a pitcher be used as a reliever and a long-inning starter. He is effective out of the bullpen and effective as a starter too, posting great career ERA numbers in both roles: As a Starter: 3.40 ERA As a Reliever: 2.70 ERA With his above-average ERA as a starter, he’d be able to be relied upon as a starter in the Bronx. 

He’d fit in nicely behind Luis Severino, James Paxton, and any big name the Yankees potentially want to put in the starting rotation. However, his ability to be a very viable option out of the bullpen in long relief adds a myriad of pitching combinations. "

I love this idea by Ryan Garcia at Runner Sports! Anyway. I just wanted to share this with you. I think it makes a lot of sense.

Let's GO!
