So every where we look these days, fans and some reporters keep talking about the Rays and a move they need to make very soon and his name is Shin-Soo Choo, RF/LF for the Cleveland Indians. There are many asking, who in the world is this guy? For the real fans out there, they already now he is one of the better outfielders in the league that no one ever talks about but when they face him, they watch his home runs fly over the fence.
Shin-Soo Choo is a solid outfielder, good arm, and a career .294 hitter. He is hitting .284 this year with 7 home runs on a team that is going no where fast. Right field for the Rays right now is a bit of a mystery, with Gabe Kapler and Ben Zobrist holding the position, but Maddon often will move Zobrist to second base, while shuffling Rodriguez and Brignac around the infield. Kapler is struggling to hit over .200 at this point. Desmond Jennings is the outfielder of the future and may be called up to replace Crawford or even BJ Upton who is still in his slump since 2006. Choo would be a great offensive weapon and solid defender that could play everday for Maddon as well as move to left to give Crawford a day off.
This is only a rumor. The Rays have not said anything about trying to make moves this early and MLB analysts are quiet as well, not saying or hearing anything, this rumor is truly inspired by the fans who want the Rays to make some moves to help the lineup that struggles at times to score and fend of the Jays, Yankes, and Sox who are all still alive and will make some moves before the trade deadline, so come on Rays, make a move!!
