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

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.

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.
