Player Notes
August 10, 2006
The Indians website reports that with the promotion of Franklin Gutierrez, Shin-Soo Choo will see less playing time. Instead of playing everyday in right field, he will be part of a platoon, getting starts against right-handed pitching.
August 6, 2006
When the Indians acquired Shin-Soo Choo from the Mariners late last month, they planned to use him in a right field platoon, hitting against righties. However, he's looked so good since joining the Indians, that manager Eric Wedge said he's looking at Choo against lefties, too, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Choo started Saturday against Kenny Rogers and will face Wilfredo Ledezma Sunday. "You couldn't ask a young man to do much more," said Wedge. "He's been a big part of our offense since he came over. And it's not just one side of the game - it's offense and defense."

Shin-Soo Choo, who was acquired from the Mariners yesterday in exchange for Ben Broussard, will play right field against righties, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Casey Blake will play right when a lefty is on the mound.

The Mariners dealt Shin-Soo Choo and a player to be named later to the Indians in exchange for Ben Broussard and cash, according to the AP. Choo has spent most of this season at Triple-A Tacoma, where he hit .323 with 13 home runs and 48 RBI. He's expected to see action in right field against right-handed pitching.

The Mariners optioned Shin-Soo Choo to Triple-A Tacoma Thursday, according to the AP. Choo played in four games in a center field platoon with Willie Bloomquist, going 1-for-11 at the plate. The Mariners will recall Adam Jones from Tacoma on Friday to replace Choo on the roster.

Shin-Soo Choo will platoon in center field with Willie Bloomquist while Jeremy Reed is on the disabled list, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Choo was hitting .327 with 22 stolen bases for Tacoma when he was recalled. He will face right-handers and therefore should get the majority of the starts.
July 3, 2006
The Mariners recalled Shin-Soo Choo from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday to take Jeremy Reed's spot on the roster, according to the AP. Choo was hitting .327 with 11 homers, 42 RBI and 22 stolen bases in 78 games with Tacoma and will serve as a reserve outfielder in Seattle.
