The last year Woodford was prospect eligible, 2020, here were the pre-season rankings.
8. Woodford
9. Rondon
14. Oviedo
But as folks may recall, it was Oviedo who was chosen to step into the 2020 rotation when the COVID mess ensued, even though he was the least experienced of the three. That season, Oviedo’s ERA as a starter and Woodford’s as a reliever were very close – 5.47 vs. 5.57.
Glad Woody got a shot and did well.
Wonder if he’ll be in competition for the rotation spot next Spring.
Last night he pitched 5 1/3, gave up 4 hits and 1 run, but only struck out 1. Will lack of Ks hurt him in the long run?
