June 25, 201115 yr Being that you're an age of the prospect guy for position players at age 23 Wood was in the majors for a majority of the year. I would guess he was a top 30 prospect at some point last year the age of 23. I'm not saying he'll be as good as Lee. I am willing to bet the Mets won't do better picking 35th or so in the draft. He's still young. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Wood isn't a position player ... age isn't quite as important when evaluating a pitcher. For what it's worth, though: Wood's numbers at High-A ... 21 starts, 93 innings, 6-6, 3.78 ERA, 88 hits, 48 BB, 95 SO Lee's numbers at High-A ... 20 starts, 109 innings, 6-7, 2.79 ERA, 78 hits, 46 BB, 129 SO Wood's numbers at Double-A ... 36 starts, 199 innings, 13-12, 3.58 ERA, 169 hits, 85 BB, 163 SO Lee's numbers at Double-A ... 17 starts, 98 innings, 8-2, 3.02 ERA, 68 hits, 27 BB, 118 SO Wood's numbers at Triple-A ... 24 starts, 148 innings, 9-8, 3.09 ERA, 40 BB, 131 SO Lee's numbers at Triple-A ... 19 starts, 106 innings, 9-3, 3.47 ERA, 98 hits, 53 BB, 91 SO Lee was clearly better at two of the three levels, particularly in the key areas to evaluate ... hits/innings, walks and strikeouts. Wood definitely had better numbers at Triple-A. Personally, I think Wood has a bright future. At the same time, however, Lee wasn't necessarily the centerpiece of the Colon deal ... Phillips was considered a big-time prospect and Sizemore was a year or so removed from receiving a million-dollar bonus. Making the point again ... Wood would probably be a piece useful to landing someone like Reyes, but it's going to take more than that, and mid-20s blocked prospects aren't going to cut it.

June 25, 201115 yr He was blocking the plate to brace for a collision. Votto was more likely to lick him than run over him.

I mentioned position players because I knew you would and I kind of agree with that. However Wood was younger at all of those levels right?
June 25, 201115 yr I mentioned position players because I knew you would and I kind of agree with that. However Wood was younger at all of those levels right? Younger by about a year ... in terms of age, Wood reached the majors about six months before Lee, hardly a big difference. Still, the age comparison doesn't necessarily mean that much with pitchers ... performance is more critical.
June 25, 201115 yr OK, we have fallen into 4th place...behind Pittsburgh. But we're 7 games up on the Cubs. Kiss my grits windy city.
June 25, 201115 yr Bruce last 10 .200 Votto last 10 .195 You guys are so bent on SS and LF. These two don't produce, they are toast, I might as well play SS.
June 25, 201115 yr The Reds traded Steven Jackson to the Pirates for PTBNL...Watch out Walt is heating up lol
