immediately. Drop deadwood. Enough with the invented reasons. It's time.

Late May to midJune. Give him more at bats against lhp & decrease Ks, raise average.
6 (35.3%)
The Lerner answer - manage to avoid super 2, & make sure he's not a likely '24 RotY when he's up

Well, if RotY is something to go for, 8/20, when he'll be eligible for rookier status in 2025

Nationals: 151 wRC+
James Wood, OF (No. 3/MLB No. 34)
That’s Wood’s number for the season, split over 71 games mostly between Single-A Fredericksburg in the Nats system and Single-A Lake Elsinore in the Padres pipeline. We use wRC+, which is controlled for league factors in the Minors, because it helps eliminate some of the pro-hitter California League numbers and illustrates just how good Wood was everywhere he played before and after the Juan Soto blockbuster. The 6-foot-7 outfielder strikes out less than you’d expect for someone with his size and power, and his loud tools should make him a fun follow in his new organization.
