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

He's one of the most under rated OF'ers in baseball.

Excellent lead off man with an excellent OBP - Reds' main weakness last year

Can he play CF though? It'll be an experiment, but his OBP at the leadoff spot makes up for it.

...

Looks like Gregorius (Reds SS prospect) to Arizona and Arizona P prospect to Cleveland. I will update when there's word.

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.
