He got the first two outs fairly quickly but then seemed to fall apart, as the next six batters all reached base against him. Manager Dale Sveum graciously allowed him to finish anyway. While this final note was a bit sour, Wood had himself a tremendous season, garnering nine wins with a 3.11 ERA and 144 strikeouts over 200 innings. Given his growth on the mound, he'll be a solid mid-round pick in 2014.","date":"Sat Sep 28"},"fullName":"Travis Wood","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Last season, there were only two pitchers who threw more than 150 innings with a WHIP 1.20 or lower and finished with an ERA above 4.00: Mike Minor at 4.12 and Wood at 4.27. The primary reason for Wood's travail was a bloated HR/FB, made worse as a fly-ball pitcher. Normally, the conclusion is that Wood is a sneaky target, as his ERA should drop as his home run rate corrects. But absent from the analysis is a .244 BABIP, which should also correct -- but in the wrong direction. With such a wide range of potential 2013 outcomes, Wood is best used early at Wrigley Field while there is still a chill in the air and the homers are tougher to come by (at which point you can decide whether he is still viable as the weather warms).","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":0.8,"playerRater15DAY":-1.9,"positionRank":37}
