Lucas: Wooten Ready To Close

Posted Feb 4, 2008

At some point before Andrew Carignan departs for Oakland A's spring training in Phoenix, Arizona, Rob Wooten wants to get some pointers. Not on pitching like a closer. But on acting like a closer. With a 2.35 ERA in a team-high 47 appearances last season, Wooten has the pitching credentials to fill the difficult ninth-inning role. But he admits he still needs to develop some of Carignan's, ah, presence. (Tar Heel Blue)
