Newsbreakers

September 28, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo homer off John Danks in tonight's 6-1 loss to Chicago at Progressive Field.

Our View:

The Indians only mustered three hits in the game, and Choo was their lone source of scoring. Choo crushed a homer in three of his last five games, and is one away from 20 for 2009.

September 24, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo went 2-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored, and two RBI in the Indians' 6-5 loss to the Tigers on Thursday. Choo is hitting .304 on the season.

Our View:

Choo has 17 homers and 81 RBI this season, and he has been one of the most reliable hitters for the Tribe this season. With Grady Sizemore out for the season, Choo is the biggest offensive threat in Cleveland's lineup.

September 22, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo went 3-for-4 in tonight's 3-1 loss to the Tigers at Progressive Field. He hit a double and two singles.

Our View:

Choo has a hit in five of his last six games, and is batting .318 in September.

September 18, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo collected one of only six Cleveland hits on Thursday, as the A's pitching staff held the Tribe in check in a 5-2 win at home.

Our View:

Choo is having a splendid 2009 season, batting .302 with 16 home runs, 78 RBI and 19 stolen bases - far better numbers that Grady Sizemore put up this year.

September 14, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo went 2-for-4 with a solo homer off Carl Pavano in tonight's 6-3 loss at Minnesota. His other knock was a single.

Our View:

Choo has a hit in four straight games, with two homers and three RBI over the span. He continues to lead Cleveland with 78 RBI.

September 3, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo doubled in two runs to tie the game at 3-3 in the eighth inning on Thursday, but the Indians would still go on to lose 4-3 to the Tigers in ten innings.

Our View:

Choo has quietly put together one of the more well-rounded seasons in all of baseball in 2009, batting .309 with 14 home runs, 74 RBI and 14 steals.

August 30, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Orioles.

Our View:

Choo's power number are down this month (only one homer), but he's still been effective. He's hitting .318 with nine doubles and 13 RBI in August.

August 21, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBI in the Indians' 9-4 loss to the Mariners on Friday.

Our View:

Choo now has multiple hits in his last four straight games and five of his last six. His average is up from .291 to .298 over that stretch.

August 19, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo went 2-for-4 with a single and a double in tonight's 3-0 loss to the Angels at Progressive Field.

Our View:

Choo raised his batting average to .295, and recorded two hits in three of his last four games. Keep him active in fantasy lineups while hot.

August 15, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo enjoyed a solid outing in Saturday's 7-3 win at Minnesota, as he went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored. He hit a single and a solo homer off Anthony Swarzak.

Our View:

Choo snapped a 30-game drought without a homer, and now has 14 for the season - tying his career season-high set in 2008. Hopefully fantasy owners won't have to wait long for his next shot.

July 23, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo tripled and drove in two in the Indians' 5-4 win over the Blue Jays on Thursday.

Our View:

Since Choo's monster game on July 3rd, his offensive production has been very thin. Since then he's compiled just five extra-base hits and had only driven in one run, so it was nice to see him register the triple and two RBI on Thursday.

July 3, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo had the game of his life on Friday. He was 4-for-5 with four runs scored, a double, two homers and seven RBI in the Indians 15-3 win over the A's.

Our View:

Choo has been a nice fantasy surprise this season. He's now hitting .301 with 12 bombs and 53 RBI. Too bad he has to rejoin the Korean military next season, because he looks like he's officially figured out major league pitching.

July 1, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in tonight's 6-2 loss to the White Sox at Progressive Field.

Our View:

Choo has five RBI over his last seven games, and has 46 for the season. He should remain a productive fantasy outfielder as long as he stays intact.

June 29, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo went 2-for-3 with a solo homer off reliever Matt Thornton in tonight's 6-3 loss to the White Sox at Progressive Field. His other hit was a single.

Our View:

The Indians suffered another tough loss, but Choo's fantasy owners should be pleased with his performance tonight. He has 10 homers for the season, and recorded two hits in three of his last five games.

June 15, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo went 2-for-4 with a single and a two-run homer in Monday's 14-12 loss to the Brewers at Progressive Field. He also swiped two bases.

Our View:

Choo hit his second homer of June, and his ninth of the season. He was in need of a solid performance as he was hitless with three strikeouts over his previous two games.

June 12, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo led the Indians offensively in Friday's 7-3 win over the Cardinals at Progressive Field, as he went 3-for-4 with three RBI. All three of his knocks were singles.

Our View:

Choo has an RBI in four of his last five games, and now has 38 for the season. Keep him active while he is hot.

May 15, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo had a big night on Friday in the Indians' 8-7 loss. Choo went 3-for-5 with a home run, three runs scored, and two RBI.

Our View:

Choo hasn't been as good as many thought he would be this season, but he is still hitting a respectable .296 on the year. His power is lacking a bit, but he is worth a chance in mixed leagues at this point.

April 12, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double, a stolen base, a run scored, and an RBI as the Indians beat the Blue Jays 8-4 on Sunday.

Our View:

The 26-year-old had just four stolen bases last season, but he has the speed to collect more. Regardless, 10 steals would be a very optimistic expectation.

March 28, 2009

Indians outfielder Shin-Soo Choo got one hit in four at-bats in Cleveland's 5-3 spring training loss, but he struck out in his other three at-bats.

Our View:

Choo's batting average is now .143 this spring. Maybe the possibility of him having to go back to Korea to perform his required military service is on his mind.

March 26, 2009

There is a possibility that the Korean government could waive the required two years of military service that 27-year-old Indians outfielder Shin-Soo Choo owes them before he turns 30, according to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer. "We'll see in the next week to 10 days," said Choo. "There's a little bit of a chance. Not 100 percent."

Our View:

It's not clear if Choo would have to miss this season if he is required to do his service. But fantasy owners would like to know as soon as possible, as Choo was a benefit to numerous teams last year when he hit .309 with 14 home runs, and is slated to start for the team once again this year.

March 22, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo was 1-for-2 with a three-run homer on Saturday as Korea destroyed Venezuela in the WBC. Korea advanced to the finals.

Our View:

Choo could quietly have some very good numbers in Cleveland this year. He looks good in the classic and has a nice combo of average and power.

March 4, 2009

Shin-Soo Choo may not represent South Korea in the World Baseball Classic due to soreness in his left elbow, according to the Associated Press.

Our View:

Choo is expected to improve upon last season's numbers, namely in the power department, and he is worth drafting as a No. 4 fantasy outfielder.
