The man himself (2006 stats). The lesson he's learning is that Texas League pitchers aren't giving him very much to hit, something we saw in person when at least one pitcher in the Hooks game pussyfooted around the plate with Wood up there. He's nowhere near the kind of year he had last year, but not too many guys have years like that. Wood hit several long flyball outs in both the games we saw, so it's not like he's swinging and missing all the time. His average has taken a pretty severe beating, dropping about 40 points versus his 2005 at Rancho. He still paces the Travs with eight homers, though.
