- Should the Angels trade Brandon Wood? The OC Register has some trade ideas for the Angels’ long-time top prospect, but I don’t think the Halos can take a chance on trading him without getting primo talent back considering the impending free agency of Chone Figgins, Bobby Abreu and Vladimir Guerrero.
- Scioscia still considers the bullpen the highest priority in terms of finding a fix on the trade market. Thank you, Captain Obvious.
- Brandon Wood continues to be haunted by the memories of his friends that were killed in the tragic Nick Adenhart car crash and is trying to use it as motivation in his career now.
- Here is the real story behind the brief staredown between Chone Figgins and Jorge Posada from Friday’s game. Basically, it was just an accident and both players had to kind of act tough even though neither one of them knew what they were mad about.
- Shane Loux is back from the DL and has come back sporting a mohawk. It’s possible the Angels could use him as a fifth starter, but would probably be better off using him as a long reliever.
- To no surprise, if a Roy Halladay deal is going to be consummated, the Blue Jays are definitely going to demand that Brandon Wood be part of the package.
- Juan Rivera sat out the final two games of the Yankee series with tightness in both legs, but is not expected to go on the DL. Darn, I was so looking forward to the Robb Quinlan-in-left field era… or not.
- INJURY UPDATE: We already knew Torii Hunter and Vladimir Guerrero were DL-bound, but now the official prognoses are in and both players are expected to miss three-to-four weeks with their respective maladies.
- It wouldn’t be a Yankees-Angels series without delving into the Teixeira vs. Morales comparisons, so here are two articles fulfilling that requirement: Yahoo thinks that Angels have done well with Morales and the OC Register agrees.
