对现在的 Woody 来说，最重要的是他的家庭。他当然还是能投的，在 off-season 有一些球队给他 minor-league offer，其中之一包括离他家只要 45 分钟的红鸟。 不过在红鸟把 Sindey Ponson 签下来之後，也代表了 Woody 可以竞争红鸟先发投手 的机会变的更小了，而 Woody 又不想去别的球队打球。 "Where I come from, it's pretty important to have your family here and close to you," Rueter said by phone from Hoyleton. "That was probably the major factor. The main team I was trying to play for was St. Louis just because I wanted to be as close to home as possible. When that didn't work out, even though other teams were calling, it didn't seem like it would be good for me because once I got away from my family it was going to be difficult." Woody 是一个很神奇的球员，他的 "fast"ball 只有 85mph 上下，靠着边边角角的 控球生存，不过他就是靠着他的本事在大联盟生存了十三年。关於自己，Woody 是这 样说的： "I know I didn't have the best fastball, so-called stuff. I always wanted to know what that stuff was. I went out and competed, and when I went out there I wanted my teammates and coaches to have confidence that the team had a chance to win today." 谢谢 Woody 这几年来为 Giants 付出的一切，大耳朵你辛苦了 <(_ _)> Woody in Giants 1614 IP 281 Games 105 Wins 80 Loss 4.32 ERA Top S.F. lefties 1.
