3rd Base

Read this little guy and was a bit surprised. I kind of just figured we would plug some random dude (i.e. adam kennedy, joe dillon, etc.) in until cardenas or wallace looked ready. And hell, maybe that's what the A's mean when they say they looking to acquire a third baseman. But my reaction was pretty much just "Brandon Wood please." If Wood is available, I want us to get him. I've no idea why the Angels hate the dude so much, but he just keeps on mashing down in AAA. The Royal boys I'm not so interested, Alex Gordon is gettin expensive soon (plus hes been pretty shitty) and Josh Fields is very meh. Wood however is young, cheap, awesome (I know the bat is awesome, is the glove good too? I remember he was a shortstop not too long ago...maybe good at third?), and inexplicably hated by his organization. If they do resign figgans (pleeeeeeease do so, i'm talking multi-year bank breaker) they will pretty much have no use for Wood. Doubt it happens though, somehow I doubt the Angels would be willing to a) sign figgans to a long term deal and b) deal Wood to a division rival. I hope they do though, its gonna suck if the angels finally realize how good that kid actually is.
