Pretty shady use of the DL.<br /><br />--------------<br /><br />There are strong indications that Brandon Wood will be placed on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday or Wednesday because of a hip flexor strain, a setback that will give the struggling third baseman a chance to find his swing in the minor leagues. Wood, who is batting .156 with two homers, one double, seven runs batted in, 36 strikeouts and two walks in 122 at-bats, was not in the lineup for the third straight game Monday. Scioscia wants to give Wood a chance to “catch his breath mentally and physically.” Asked to elaborate, Scioscia said Wood “has a little hip flexor.” Wood is out of minor league options, meaning he would have to clear waivers before the Angels could send him to triple A. But by putting Wood on the DL, the Angels could extend his mental break and then send him on a minor league rehab assignment, perhaps a lengthy one, to give him a chance to find his stroke in a low-pressure environment. — LA TimesBob Gorinskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195084204316698108.post-137991977883215792010-05-25T07:14:31.337-05:002010-05-25T07:14:31.337-05:00Ed, any thoughts on why all the speculation center...Ed, any thoughts on why all the speculation centers on Oswalt and nobody is talking about the Twins outfield situation? The Twins have two outfielders (Span and Cuddyer) and two d.h.s who masquerade as defenders when they grab a glove. Cuddyer could probably use a day off and Span may not play today. I'd love to find a right-handed power bat who can play passable defense to spell the regulars. Such an upgrade is much more important than renting Oswalt at an outrageous price for a couple of months.Chrisnoreply@blogger.com
