Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Brandon Wood

Hey guys, I thought everybody would be interested in this article Brandon Wood.  I know the guy has gotten off to a fairly miserable start at the major league level thus far, but my feeling is that Wood should at least become a low average, high power, good fielding SS as long as he works past any extended slumps that are bound to happen due to his propensity for striking out. I conducted a scouting report on Wood, which I link to below:

Wood's value would obviously be much higher at SS than at 3b.  However, I do have a question: does Aybar have SS locked down?  His glove is sick, but I do still have some questions about his bat.

Does Aybar Have SS locked down?

Sir, we charge people for information like that. But we do take paypal…

Interesting article,

and wholly agreed, but it really didn’t take a baseball scouting report to deliver that information.

As the author said, Wood’s player profile boils down to plus athletic, plus to plus-plus power, average to plus fielding with a plus work-ethic, but at a system with many potential bats and gloves looking to take his natural position.

do you think his future is with the Angels or another team?

i personally...

would rather see him fail here than excel somewhere else, because we would all be kicking ourselves in the ass if that happened because we gave up on him

the future looks bright

I think that if brandon wood can get more hits than strike outs

he might be a good player. In other news, the team that scores the most points wins.

Better analysis than we've been getting from our announcing team....
