He spent most of the 2005 season with the Angels' High-A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, hitting .321 with a California League record 43 home runs and 51 doubles.

[2] Wood was selected by the Angels to play on their Arizona Fall League team, the Surprise Scorpions, in October and early November 2005.

He had a solid, though not spectacular year, hitting .276 with 25 home runs and 19 stolen bases in 453 at-bats for the Double-A Arkansas Travelers.

Prior to the call-up to the big club, Wood was batting .278 (22-for-79) with three home runs and 15 RBIs in 20 games with Salt Lake.

In the 2009 offseason, third base appeared to open up for Wood as All-Star third baseman Chone Figgins signed a four-year deal with division rivals the Seattle Mariners.

Bill Shaikin reported, "The Angels also think that, as Wood improves his plate discipline and gains a better command of the strike zone, he will add a key power component to the lineup.

On June 27, 2010, Wood hit his first Major League grand slam off Colorado Rockies reliever Manny Corpas.

[8] Wood played in a career high 99 games, hitting 7 home runs with 31 RBI, but struggled to make sufficient contact, managing just a .220 average.

He spent nearly all the season with the Triple-A Colorado Springs Sky Sox, hitting 10 home runs with 64 RBI and a batting average of .259.

“I have to have success here and I don’t know how I’m going to do it.” Wood chose to suffer in silence, worried that simply admitting he needed help with his mental state would be perceived poorly by manager Mike Scioscia and negatively impact his career far more than the daily panic attacks.

[10] After one season in a Manager role, Wood retired from professional baseball and began a career in the private world.
