Alex Wood 48 innings last two years.  Yep fits into the new Giants plan
But in 2017 went 16-3 for the Dodgers

He is definitely a “Farhan kinda guy” - coming off injuries, big-time upside, reasonable cost, and, of course, left-handed.  He is a Gausman/Smyly type of pitcher.  Pay him a few million, watch him flourish and flip him in July for high value prospects.

Note: Zaidi traded for him when he was working for the Dodgers.

Don’t disagree with you often, but I do on Wood.  Doesn’t have near the stuff of Smyly.  Not to mention Gausman.  Funky delivery, so he’s deceptive.  He’s had two good years - 2014 and 2017.  Otherwise meh to bad. Doesn’t eat innings.  Injury prone.  Obviously it depends on the cost.  But I would not give him close to what Atlanta gave Smyly. (Realize you aren’t suggesting he’s worth 11 for a year)
