All-Star Candidates
it seems like half of this board thinks that John Buck is one of the main reasons that we still suck....however, going by win shares, he's been the 3rd most valuable catcher in the AL and SHOULD be a borderline all-star, even though he wont be mentioned.
Brandon Wood
What is Brandon Woods value to the Angels at this point? Do you all think they're willing to trade him? If so, at what cost? Would Carlos Rosa or Dan Cortes be enough? What if the Royals threw in a reliever such as a Ron Mahay? Wood seems to be blocked in Anaheim so it almost seems like they need to trade him and God knows the Royals desperately need a real shortstop. Thoughts?

Solution to TPJ problem--Brandon Wood
The Royals NEED to trade for Brandon Wood. He's young, blocked in Anaheim. He'd immediately help to solve the Royals' power/TPJ issues. Here are his numbers
http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/W/Brandon-Wood-1.shtml
He was considered a top 5 prospect after his outstanding 2005 season. While his stock and numbers have fallen since then, he still profiles out to be a good major league shortstop. What would it take to acquire him? Would Rosa or Cortes do it? Would we have to send them multiple players? I dont think they have any need for any of our position players. I wouldnt mind sending them a Mahay or Gobble + Pitching prospect....am i way off base here? Would Wood be a good idea?

Moustakas turning a corner?
So, Moustakas hit another homer tonite...making 3 in the last 4 games. He now has 3 straight 2 hit games and has 3 homers and 2 steals in that time. His line for the season is now 221/277/346...up immensely from a week ago. My question is, what will we do with him? 3b? 2b? 1b? LF? We seem to be set at 3rd with Gordo and at 2nd with Callaspo. At first, it would seem to be a huge waste of a great arm for either Gordon or Moustakas. Regardless, we'll find a spot for him if his bat lives up to the potential.
