June 3, 2008 Shin-Soo Choo pinch-hit for Franklin Gutierrez Tuesday and finished the night with a two-RBI double and solo home run in his two at-bats. Choo has three hits in seven at-bats to go along with a .636 OBP since being recalled.
Our View:Gutierrez also had two hits on the night but is batting just .255 for the year. Choo could start seeing more time in right field if he continues to hit.
May 30, 2008 Shin-Soo Choo has been called up from Triple-A Buffalo, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He was brought in to fill Travis Hafner's spot on the roster, as he landed on the DL due to his right shoulder ailment.
Our View:Choo has been on a rehab assignment at Buffalo while recovering from Tommy John surgery on his left elbow. He won't see much action while fighting for playing time in a crowded Indians' outfield.
May 28, 2008 Shin-Soo Choo will rejoin the Indians either this weekend or early next week, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. The outfielder is coming off Tommy John surgery to his left elbow.
Our View:The Indians will have a tough roster call to make once Choo is ready, although they could delay the issue by placing Travis Hafner on the DL. Anyway, Choo enters a crowded outfield and won't have much immediate value.
May 24, 2008 Shin-Soo Choo will be recalled from Triple-A Buffalo probably sometime next week if you listen to GM Mark Shapiro, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "He's a guy on the horizon," said Shapiro. "We'll take it series to series. Once he's here, he's here."
Our View:Choo, who is coming back from Tommy John surgery, is out of minor league options. When he is called back to the big league club, Franklin Gutierrez could be the odd man out in the Indians outfield.
May 23, 2008 Shin-Soo Choo is currently 7-for-21 over six games at Triple-A Buffalo. The outfielder is on a rehab assignment as he recovers from Tommy John surgery on his left elbow. Choo could return before his 20-day rehab assignment is up, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Our View:We were excited about Choo until Ben Francisco began knocking the ball around. The Indians could end up with a glut of outfielder once Choo is ready.
