Get a load of this Jim Shonerd piece at Baseball America on the top 20 prospects in the PCL, including this bit on Brandon Wood (#4): Wood had a so-so season (by his lofty standards) in the PCL in 2007, and he slumped at midseason before hitting .333 with 18 homers over the final two months. But he failed to control the strike zone in three separate trips to the majors, getting regular playing time...

While injuries derailed the Angels’ postseason a year ago, this year they just keep on winning, even with a lineup filled with backups and minor leaguers. The Angels are 12-6 this month with guys named Sean Rodriguez, Brandon Wood, Kendry Morales, Robb Quinlan and Gary Matthews Jr. all playing regularly. Their win last night clinches home-field advantage [...]

First, from David Hale’s blog, Mark Richt reminds (without excusing) us about one reason as to why the defensive ends have started slowly. “When you miss a lot of work, it’s tough to be in midseason form. Lomax missed a lot. Dobbs missed a lot. We were grabbing Corvey Irvin and Brandon Wood just to practice.” That’s [...]

So before Aybar/Figgy's injuries, Brandon Wood was just a scrub who could barely get the job done. Aybar was a wizard defensively, and could be passable batting as long as he batted 9th or so. Then Wood had his crack at the MLB, and he produced. At first, Wood sucked, to say simply. He was sporting a very amazing OPS of .318 in 30 games. Then, something long overdue happened, he started to hit. In...

Players of the game Despite a bench-clearing brawl started by Pudge's swipe at Torii Hunter (both players were ejected but later made up), the real highlight of this game was Brandon Wood having the best game of brief major league career, crushing a pair of homers over the left field fence. In all, the Angels pounded four longballs, the other two by Vlad and Sean Rodriguez, cruising to a 11-1 laugher...

The Angels threw away leads of three and one runs, by John Lackey and K-Rod, respectively. Brandon Wood homered off Bobby Jenks, and any time that happens, kittens and puppies are happy. Torii Hunter couldn't get a hit to save his damn life, and welcome to your new postseason suckage, Angels. Mike Scioscia made an inexplicable switch to get Mike Napoli out of the game for Reggie Willits, and yanked...

Brandon Wood and Sean Rodriguez make great plays in Angels' victory. Francisco Rodriguez gets his 54th save. Start one untested rookie middle infielder in a playoff series, and you're taking your chances. Start two, and many would say you're doomed.

Brandon Wood has not performed well in three trials in the major leagues, batting .134 with two home runs and 33 strikeouts in 97 at-bats. However, that did not scare off other teams from asking about him in the weeks leading up to the July 31 trade deadline.
