Irishgit's analysis of this pitcher is correct. Wood was a very good pitcher in 1911 with 23 wins, and a great one in 1912, a season in which he went 34-5 with lots of strikeouts and a great ERA, and hooked up in a memorable duel with the superb Walter Johnson, who has a good case for being the best or most impressively dominating, pitcher in the history of the major leagues. Injuries plagued him afterward, though he did manage to lead the league in ERA in 1915. Wood became a part time/ platoon outfielder with Cleveland and played on that team's Series winner in 1920, and later the baseball coach at Yale. I remember seeing an opening day game on tv in the early 80's in which an ancient, wheelchair bound Wood threw out the first pitch. Wood lived well into his 90's. One of the great what if's of baseball, had he not got hurt in 1913 who can say what he might have done, though of course it's speculative. Three stars- great at his peak, though his time as one of the truly great was very short.

Had one astonishing year in 1912, so good that he was almost unearthly. Had a decent year in 1911 as well, but everything else is mediocre at best, largely due to injury. Recreated himself as a position player, and an adequate one, but based on career performance 3 stars is as high as I can go.
