Bringing the Wood to the OF - James Wood

[Slateman]

Coles has been terrible everywhere he's gone. He's 100% a problem and needs to go.

Woods approach is unchanged from the minors.

Here's what happens when the coaching staff gets ahold of you: https://districtondeck.com/posts/cj-abrams-is-being-sabotaged-by-the-washington-nationals-01hxc97m4y8f

He's a 102 wRC+ since Coles started freaking with him.

We had to send Garcia down to the minors to fix his swing. Ruiz needed an offseason.

Since 2022, six hitters have achieved better than league average wRC+. Wood and Lowe are at the top of that list. Coles is holding everyone back at this point

So I am standing out on the plaza behind Wood, with Young out in center. It's just amazing to watch Young get set as Brzykcy delivers vs Wood. Young gets down almost like an infielder. Wood is pretty stiff barely flinching

Wood is one of the worst outfielders in baseball.   There is no reason not to move him to DH

he's kind of looks like a little leaguer looking around and distracted pre-pitch. I'm a big defender of him and do not say pull the plug on him in the field but you do wonder how into the game he is on d. Those late jumps stand out more with Young and Crews out there with him

Where the hell have you been. I’ve being saying this since last season. Every time Bell is in the line up it is like waving a white flag. Play Call in LF. Can’t keep playing the contract Rizzo.

Maybe they can grow some dandelions out there for him to play with between pitches.

I say play him whever he wants as long as he keeps mashing
