Latimes今天讲到了wood被DFA前,在休息室的一些反应... 还蛮同情的... 不过现实很残酷... 我对天使对wood这几年使用的方式真的很不满意... 他不能马上站稳是一回事.. 但让他站稳的过程,大概是这几年天使球员受到待遇最差的... 这也跟球团对这样的打者的态度有关... 希望他如果离开天使,能够有好机会好好表现了... 来源: http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-0420-angels-fyi-20110420,0,4654000.story Angels reluctantly exercise their final option with Brandon Wood, designating him for assignment Reporting from Arlington, Texas — The Angels never ran out of patience with Brandon Wood. But they did run out of roster spots, so Tuesday they designated him for assignment, effectively ending Wood's career with the only organization he has ever known. "It was tough," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "He's one of our guys. We just have no way out of this right now. There's no roster flexibility. Brandon needs to go and play and get an opportunity to establish his career. "And we'll be proud of him when it happens." With Erick Aybar due to rejoin the team from the disabled list Wednesday, the Angels needed to clear a roster spot and couldn't afford to keep another infielder. And with Wood out of minor league options, the team was forced to designate him, giving them 10 days to trade him or place him on waivers, where he's all but certain to be claimed by another team. Wood, 26, a first-round pick in the 2003 draft, was minor league player of the year two seasons later when he batted .321 with 43 home runs and 115 runs batted in. But he couldn't figure out major league pitching, batting only .168 over parts of five seasons. As he passed through the clubhouse for the final time Tuesday, a teary-eyed Wood was embraced by teammates. "It's tears and just some thoughts of a bunch of really good people. People that were in my wedding," whispered Wood, who married in December. "That's the toughest part. Baseball's a game and I'm not done playing. And there's going to be somewhere else where I can go play and prove myself, redeem myself as a player. "But the tough part is [leaving] a good organization that I first knew, that I love." Wood conceded that the move might prove to be a good one, for him and the Angels. "I think everybody in this room will say that is what I needed, from the staff to Scioscia to most of the guys. I had my chance to get it locked down last year and it didn't happen. "But when you do all you can to be nothing but an Angel, you go to bed thinking about it, wake up in the morning thinking about it. Even after last year you've got it in the back of your head that if something happens you're going to go in and redeem yourself and turn the boos into cheers. "But that's just not the way it worked out." --
