Not sure if this has been posted yet, but the the Angels may have something in the works for Tex, which may include our old buddy Brandon Wood. Also, there is an interesting tidbit about Andy Laroche being showcased. As a side note, there may be an A-Rod/Madonna sex tape - great....

"Here comes the trade deadline and the Braves still aren't sure if they're going to be unloading players or seeking players, but the Angels are supposedly making a serious run at first sacker Mark Teixeira. Word is Anaheim will send utility player Robb Quinlan and minor league third baseman Brandon Wood to Hot-lanta for the glory of having Teixeira in southern California till season's end."

From your link, the source for this rumor is the St. Paul Pioneer Press. So I went there and this is what I found in the "DONT PRINT THAT" section.

With baseball's trade deadline in 10 days, one rumor has Los Angeles Angels utility player Robb Quinlan of St. Paul and minor league third baseman Brandon Wood headed to Atlanta for slugger Mark Teixeira, who can become a free agent at season's end.

Is that really is the best Atlanta can do for two draft picks and two months of Tex (the two picks being the important part)? Quinlan and Wood?

That is what I was thinking. They say Quinlan is a utility guy. I guess if a guy who can play 3rd and 1st is a utility guy, then ok, Huff is a utility guy. That trade is worthless unless Chipper is going to move to 1st full time.

So, basically, it is Wood and Quinlan for a two month rental of Teixiera plus two draft picks. LAAAAAAA wins this one.

Well then, we should be able to get him for a package centered around Scott Moore than. I can't remember who said that Brandon Wood was the same prospect as Scott Moore (I think it was JTrea), but they asked me why I felt like they were way off. Well this is why for that person. I am pretty sure that the Braves would fall down laughing if we called and asked if they would move Tex to us for the rest of the year in exchange for Scott Moore. I am even laughing about it as I type it. Sorry JTrea if it wasn't you, but I am pretty sure it was. :D

They are the same prospect if Scott Moore is playing in the Bizarro world league. Has Moore ever been listed amongst the top 100 prospects at any point in his career? How old is Scott Moore?

      Cal thinks Holiday moved to fast through the system

      Correlation vs. Causation: The study states that there is a correlation between 1RM (one-rep max) squat and performance metrics like the 10-yard split and 40-yard dash times. However, correlation does not imply causation. Just because these variables are correlated does not mean that one causes the other.

      His Dad is a big boy and obvious lifter.  Some guys are naturally good squatters.  That’s an impressive number for Holliday, but who knows exactly how legit the actual squat is.  You can find high school kids at nearly every high school about his size with similar squat numbers.  Granted, they will be some of the strongest pound for pound kids, but it’s not a crazy number.

      Fair point, but these outliers are squatting like 40% more than Holliday is.  There are likely plenty of guys in the NCAA that can hit Holliday's numbers, and are in his age range.   There were like 50+ guys at this year's combine with a 10 yard split of 1.5 or better or 40 times of 4.5 or better, and 1rm squat correlates with both 10 yard split and 40 time, such that if you hit those numbers in 10 or 40, then your mean 1rm squat would be predicted to be about 2.5x body weight, which would be right around 500 lbs for a 200 lb guy.  If you want to call NFL caliber college guys outliers, I guess?  But Holliday is an MLB caliber guy, so he still fits.   Elite athletes just aren't normal, man.

      The fact that they put this on the 1991 Donruss, perhaps the ultimate peak of the junk wax era, makes this even funnier to me.  If toilet paper ever shot up in price I wouldn't care because I've got heaps of '91 Donruss floating around. This is very true, which makes me thinks he'll get claimed somewhere else.

      It's like the ghost of Chris Davis found him and has taken over his body.   I know bat speed isn't everything, but with the bat speed info that dropped, I took a look.  His average is 70.9 which isn't terribly slow, it's actually pretty average.   For whatever reason, he just can't square anything up.  I hope he fixes it but it's really tough to watch right now.

      Just a few years ago this was the type of guy we would of claimed.
