FWIW, Wood is only one of 8 guys on all teams with 30 or more PAs this spring. It's either a heck of a showcase or maybe he's starting to slip into consideration for the roster. Of the other 7 guys, only 2 are unlikely to break camp on the OD roster as a starter.

It’ll be interesting to see if they start to cut his at bats down.  If he keeps taking at bats from the guys expected to be in our OF, then maybe they are considering Wood breaking camp?

It reminds me of Jordan Walker last year.  He ultimately got sent back down and returned and was better.  St. Louis was a situation with more pressure than Wood would face.  Wood breaking camp with the team would give the team and fans some juice and excitement, especially if he can keep his head above water and flash his potential.  Then when that thrill is wearing off, Crews can debut and give another jolt.
