10 things to know about Shin-Soo Choo, the Rangers' big money right fielder.
Choo hails from South Korea. He was born in Busna, South Korea, on July 13, 1982. He represented Korea at the 2009 World Baseball Classic, helping his nation to a second-place finish. He also helped Korea win a gold medal at the 2012 Asian games, which helped him earn a military exemption since all South Korean men must complete two years of military service before they are 30.
A bounce back season
Choo had a dismal 2016 season in which he only played in 48 games.
