Further Evidence of the Difference between AAA and MLB
Brandon Wood Released
Minor league numbers include seasons with 43, 25, 23, 31 and 22 HR along with a .284 career minor league average.
But over nearly 500 major league at-bats he's a .168 hitter with 11 HR.
He's still only 26, and I'd be shocked if someone else doesn't give him a chance, but I'm guessing Anaheim felt really comfortable about its 3rd base position about 4 years ago.
Sounds a lot like Anthony Reyes. Classic AAAA player.

Didn't they move Glaus to make space for him? Or was that the similarly anemic Dallas McPherson?
(Who names a kid 'Dallas' anyway? If you're going to name a kid after a city, have a sense of humor about it and call him 'French Lick' or 'Athol.')

Re: Further Evidence of the Difference between AAA and MLB
That was Dallas McPherson.
Wood was always a hot-to-trot prospect, but he simply could not make contact with the ball at the MLB level. Very confusing.
