    Nothing yet to report on #Indians RF Shin-Soo Choo, however a source confirmed that SS Asdrubal Cabrera will not be traded tonight.

    On top of that, has Didi ever hit lefties?

    I'm hearing (voices in my head) Cozart, Stubbs, Corcino, Ondrusek for Cabrera, Choo, and Pestano.

    Then the Reds are flipping Gregorius to the D-Backs for Bauer.

    Meh, not that impressed with Choo. I'm just not on the "Dump Drew" bandwagon. I think there will be greater problems with the Reds than CF.

    Offensively, that's great. But we're winning with pitching and defense nowadays. I like his bat, but I really don't want to see Cabrera penciled in as our full-time shortstop. As far as I'm concerned, that will ALWAYS be a defense-first position.

    .381 career OBP. What's not to like?

    That's about a dream come true with regard to the Reds' top-of-the-order deficiency in getting people on base.

    I kinda like the first trade proposal of simply Stubbs, Gregorius for Choo. No harm done to the Reds.
    Adding Cabrera doesn't make a ton of sense to me.

    Re: Shin-soo Choo?

    It is a shame that Stubbs is going in the deal. Choo and Stubbs would make a great platoon as Choo is not good vs. LHP, especially last year.

    What are these problems you foresee other than CF/leadoff hitter?

    Re: Shin-soo Choo?

    I don't think alot of Reds fans begin to realize how bad our 1 and 2 hole hitters were last year, and probably the year before.

    I'd bet money that batting Choo leadoff or second with BP up there too, that Votto will have alot of men on base this season unlike any season prior.

    People just underestimate the value of OBP. Choo is the real deal. He's not a Jacoby Ellsbury one season wonder.

    Looking at Stubbs vs. Choo. When healthy and playing around 150+ games each, Choo averages about 25 to 35 more walks per season.
