Only b/c he's blocked at SS, not b/c of ability.

 

a lot of scouts think he's already too big to play SS

 

Wood is listed at 6'3". ARod is the same height and that didn't hurt him at all. Ripken Jr. was 6'4" and he was good for a while too.

 

A lot of scouts in the Angels organization think Wood would be ML average at SS (defensively).

 

I'll take their word as they seemingly know what they're doing over there.

He could play it well enough to be an asset to our offense that is for sure.

When he signed with the Cubs, didn't Lilly say he likes to hit?

 

doesn't mean he's good at it.

 

I know. I just couldn't remember.

and a lot of scouts don't. I'm not sure if we'll ever settle the debate if Wood stays in the Angels' system.
