Angels Move Brandon Wood To Third Base

The Angels have moved Brandon Wood from shortstop to third base. The move isn't necessarily permanent, as the organization still considers Wood a shortstop. Given their lack of depth at third, the Angels believe the switch could accelerate Wood's ascent to the Majors. At 6-foot-3, Wood has bona fide third baseman power, having cranked 68 homers over his last two Minor League seasons. Chone Figgins is slotted to start the 2007 season as the everyday man at the hot corner, but the Angels think Wood can learn the position quickly and take over the job down the road.
