When I think of Shin-Soo Choo, I think of a pretty solid outfielder* and an absolute on-base machine during his time with the Cleveland Indians. He’s hands down my favorite former Indians player still in the league, and he’s having his own resurgence as a 36-year-old with the Texas Rangers this season — and if we’re being honest I really wanted the Indians to grab him at the trade deadline.
I wonder, though, does he look back fondly on his time with the Indians? Will he do the same with the Rangers? The question arises because of one simple fact: When and where Shin-Soo Choo plays baseball has been incredibly unlucky.
