Musings on Brandon Wood

Mon, 09 Mar 2009 19:16:17 -0500

Why is Brandon Wood not a candidate for first base? For some reason, I never hear this mentioned. I guess it?s because Kendry Morales is a switch hitter, so there?s really no need to platoon him, but Wood seems a good fit so long as the Angels have four other players battling for the jobs [...]
