Bob Woodson
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching If you're going in to face Woodson, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Woodson, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Woodson helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Woodson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Woodson has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Woodson as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2010 Outlook What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Woodson to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Woodson.
