SHIN-SOO CHOO RUMORS
Player Profile #59: Shin-Soo Choo | OF | CLE
Shin-Soo Choo‘s 2011 season was most certainly a down year from his very consistent numbers from 2009-10. Choo was almost a lock for a .300 batting average, 20 homers, 20 steals and 80+ RBI and runs every season, which put him right around a top 10 outfielder. Unfortunately off-field issues and injuries made it difficult for Choo to repeat those numbers in 2011. His .259...

Shin-Soo Choo Player Projection No. 84
Key Stats: Shin-Soo Choo played in only 85 games last season. That’s a problem in and of itself, but when he was on the field for those 85 games he was not the player he was in 2010 when he was the 34th ranked player in all of fantasy baseball. His walk rate was down, strikeout rate was up, average was down, and home run and double rates were down. We can’t blame all of this...

Fantasy Baseball – Rebounds and Breakouts
What separates a good fantasy player from a great one is the willingness to take on a risk. The risk could come in the form of a prospect, an untested rookie with tremendous upside. Or it could be the willingness to stream a pitcher, knowing that while the results could be rewarding, there’s also the chance that it could be disastrous. Today we’re going to look at risk...

Indians, Choo agree to 1-year deal
Outfielder Shin Soo-Choo's troubled 2011 season with the Cleveland Indians still earned him a raise.

Shin-Soo Choo And Other 2011 Busts Turned Into 2012 Fantasy Baseball Value Picks
2011 was supposed to be a big year for Shin-Soo Choo — he was coming off his 2nd straight 20-20 season, his looming military service requirement to the Korean government was in the rearview mirror and he was just entering his prime age. Many (including yours truly) predicted a true breakout, and drafted him as an OF1. The statline that ensued packed about as much punch as Ralph...

Choo Injury Signals End of Playoff Hopes
The Indians playoff hopes are, for all intents and purposes, gone. They now stand at 63-64 and are 6.5 games back in the Division. Whats worse is Shin Soo-Choo was injured in the game today. There is no news on the extent of the injury, but this is the last thing the Indians needed. If he has to go back on the Disabled List, their playoff chances are shot. 6.5 games back...

The Silver Lining of Shin-Soo Choo’s Injury
When the Indians announced that right fielder Shin-Soo Choo would be out for at least six weeks on Saturday, Cleveland’s collective heart sank.
Despite being in a down year, Choo’s on-field contributions have been immensely valuable (he’s on pace for 3.6 WAR over 162 games), and the last thing a perennially disappointed fanbase needs in the midst of the Tribe’s cold streak...

I Want Choo Back: Why Shin-Soo Choo’s Struggles Are Just Superficial
Over the last couple years, Cleveland Indians right fielder Shin-Soo Choo has unquestionably turned into one of the most—if not the most—underappreciated players in all of baseball.

From 2009-10, Choo led all MLB outfielders with a .397 on-base percentage. He came in fifth in OPS (.884) and fourth in wOBA (.389) and wRC+ (141). At 11.1...
