Shin-Soo Choo will be recalled from Triple-A Buffalo probably sometime next week if you listen to GM Mark Shapiro, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "He's a guy on the horizon," said Shapiro. "We'll take it series to series. Once he's here, he's here."

May 12, 2008
Shin-Soo Choo is ready to start his rehab assignment on Wednesday as he attempts to come back from Tommy John surgery on his elbow, according to MLB.com. "Everything sounds good right now," manager Eric Wedge said. "His bat speed is good, he's swinging the bat well, he's moving around well in the outfield, and his arm's working good. You don't want to get giddy with it, but he's on target."
May 6, 2008
Shin-Soo Choo remains three-to-four weeks away from returning to the majors, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. The outfielder could start a rehab assignment in seven-to-10 days. Choo is recovering from Tommy John surgery in his left elbow.
March 30, 2008
Shin-Soo Choo was placed on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 21, as he recovers from "Tommy John" surgery on his left arm last September. Sports Network reported that Choo, 25, is a .260 hitter in 65 games over three seasons with the Mariners and Indians.

February 22, 2008
In the short term, Shin-Soo Choo is hoping to return from Tommy John surgery in May. But over the long term, as a citizen of South Korea, he's required to serve 24-28 months in the military before he turns 30, according to MLB.com. "I'm not thinking about it right now," the 26-year-old said. "But it would be tough. For two years to not play baseball, then come back, it's really tough. Pitchers? Maybe. But hitters? It's tough." He could get out of the commitment by becoming a U.S. citizen -- though he hasn't given that serious consideration -- or by getting an exemption by helping South Korea win a medal in the 2010 Asian Games. It's something to keep in mind over the long haul, but first, he'll have to prove capable of overcoming major surgery and being a consistent major leaguer.
February 22, 2008
Shin-Soo Choo won't be recovered from September Tommy John surgery until May, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. David Dellucci and Jason Michaels will platoon again in left field this season, while Choo will join Ben Francisco as a reserve option, once he's healthy.
