It is hard to tell what they might do regarding him.
Yes after tonight's game. The only older guy playing when Woody said younger guys would play.:noidea:

They might extend Choo a QO, and he might take it.

There is no way Choo comes back unless they trade Willie. But that could happen

Keep in mind Willie can not stay healthy . Injury prone. Hope he does not come back but he is still in the line up when older guys are giving way to the younger. Strange

If the season was over now we would draft third next year. Let's hope we would take full advantage of that.

I remember when that was the knock on Nelson Cruz, he couldn't stay healthy early on.

This is from an article from earlier this year.

"Manager Chris Woodward said he would like to see Choo back next season.

“I know Jon Daniels and the ownership [are] going to make that decision, but I will always fight for Choo,” Woodward said. “I truly value the person and what he can do. I still think there is a lot left physically, just the way he prepares himself and the shape he keeps himself in. I fully expect him to have a productive year, similar to last year, hopefully better. I don’t see any reason why we wouldn’t pursue bringing him back.”

The astros are really hurting right now while the mariners are kind of on a roll. Lets keep losing and let the mariners try to bridge the gap with Houston.

I hope the mariners sweep us. It will be harder for them to draft ahead of us if they do.

The draft is only as good as the one doing the deciding. Think on that.

and it was accurate then
Yes, it was. The moral of the story is, just because someone has a few injuries in a relatively short amount of time at the beginning of a career, that doesn't mean that will always be the case.

That was once thought to be the case with Pudge because he had gotten hurt a couple of years in a row just before we let him leave in free agency. The funny thing was that one of the injuries he suffered was due to a batter following through too much and hit him with the bat.

Not sold on Woodward just yet. Why would he make such statements when we are in a rebuild with the idea of building with young players. Choo as good as he has been has no future in a younger world. Woody needs to make sure which way he is going and stay with it.

Some of his statements are head scratchers. Still can't believe what he said about Tatis HR. And yet he PH Choo with Refsnyder

And now this statement. It's a bit erratic. Where is the common sense. Definite players coach ...maybe too nice

Remember his statements about how good Matt Davidson was going to be and how good Gallo already was?
