Nick gets his first win as a Halo and I think that is pretty neat-o!

Panther: some guy named Vlad.

Any thoughts on M.Brown vs B.Wood

Let Wood play

if Brown is the alternative, there’s no reason that Wood shouldn’t be starting. The dude probably would have at least grounded out once or twice.

Meh. Neither one is ready for the Show, and the high-elevation parks the Angels’ AAA squad play in in the PCL just aren’t liable to teach them anything good about hitting. (OTOH pitchers who can figure it out in those parks tend to be really good when they get to the majors… guess I’ll take that anyway.)

Figgins can’t come back fast enough, provided he’s healthy, of course.

Witty .sig goes here.

One more thing

If the Angels’ qualification for Wood making the majors is his not striking out too much, I have a feeling he may be in AAA at least another year.

I know Brown could probably adjust given more playing time, but honestly

there’s no reason he should be batting in the majors over Wood. He seems to have just as much of a problem making contact without Wood’s upside or somewhat unique batspeed excuse.

Frankie gave us a cardiac.

wood proved he shouldn't be up here yet

now it’s brown’s turn
he should get a couple of games to see what he can/can’t do

Who goofed? I've got to know.

I like Watching Woods AB's More.

but both bats are not ready for the Bigs. Brown had the SICK “D” though and I liked it.

Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was at the game tonight

brown looked so bad at the plate. it would have been impossible for wood to have done any worse. seriously – impossible. 7 Ks in 9 AB thats pretty rough. he did great with the glove though. give him a couple more starts until izzy comes back.

I'd rather see Willitz in LF
