Choo had some good years in Cleveland but hasnt been as good the past 2 years. Solid outfielder though.



I LOVE this trade for the Reds. Choo had a bad 2011 and that seemed to distort peoples views. He has had an OPS+ of 130 or higher 4 of the last 5 years, with 2011 being the bad year. His RBI's are down but the Indians suck, thats not his fault. He had 43 doubles last year and he's a .380 career OBP guy. His defense will be a little suspect but this is a solid defensive team so it will hide it somewhat, plus GABP isn't exactly Safeco. Choo will have 105+ runs next year in this offense. Im excited.

You think the Reds try to move Bruce to CF?

Choo would have been perfect for the Braves.

Blech.

Im not going to miss Choo in Cleveland. He has had terrible starts to the last two seasons and seems to miss a ton of games from injurys.

Defense you dont have to worry about. He's very good in the outfield and has one of the best arms in baseball.
