2008

It seems there was a reason Jake Woods wound up on waivers in the first place. Since the Mariners have a younger, more promising version of the same pitcher in Ryan Feierabend, Woods was deemed expendable, and is now off the 40-man roster.

2007

Woods was acquired on waivers from the Angels and enjoyed a nice--if a bit fluky--2006 campaign in the Pacific Northwest. Woods` best pitch is his curve when he can get it over the plate. One of the long list of Mariners lefties with bad strikeout rates hoping to inherit the mantle of Jamie Moyer, Woods needs to improve his control if he hopes to have a lasting career in the Moyer mold or any other.

2006

The curveball is a fickle mistress--mastering its looping trajectory has driven many pitchers to distraction over the years. Woods has a nice curve when he has it working, but lacks the ability to consistently throw it for strikes. One night it`s filthy, the next, it`s bouncing or taking a one-way tour of the bleachers. If Woods can get it nailed down, he`ll be a big asset for the Mariners now that he`s been dealt to them, maybe even as a starter.

2005

Strong control, middling stuff, sometimes hints he can start in the bigs. His results against lefties are so much better than against righties that his future is in the bullpen regardless; once his managers get a taste of him in the LOOGY role, they'll never let him out. Bombed as a starter at Triple-A, which will only speed the conversion process.
