Shin-Soo Choo

[SFGRTB]

Now that he is excempt from military service, he can stay in MLB. Is it fair that we start talking about trading for this guy?

Pros:

-Consistantly puts up .300/.400/.490 20 HRs, 20 SB.
-Plays good defense, though nothing spectacular
-Has a cannon
-Works pitchers
-Left handed
-In his prime
-Proven to preform under pressure (pitching for your country when if you lose, you won't be able to return to MLB and if you don't go at all, can never return home to Korea)

Cons:

-While consistant, you get what you get. Probably won't improve much.
-Will likely require a heafty load of talent
-Due for a pay raise
-Tito loves him


I would put him on top of my trade list. He'd look great batting 3rd ahaid of Posey and Huff (hopefully, if not Belt).

The Cleveland Indians are one team you can realistically talk about trading for a good young player that is due a raise so why not.

I've had Choo on my fantasy team last the 2 years and I love him. He's just sick, plain and simple. I'd build an offense around him in a heart beat. Just don't ask me who I'd give up for him b/c I have no clue, probably have to involve Wheeler.
