KANSAS CITY, Mo. - He has become two things to the Rangers this season: Most Likely to Reach Base and Most Likely to Dispense Good Advice.
When Shin-Soo Choo hits, the Rangers offense follows. When he speaks, the young players would be wise to do the same.
That would be especially true in the case of the mysterious violation of team rules earlier this week that led to different penalties for four different young players. The Rangers demoted starter Yohander Mendez back to Triple-A Round Rock and benched Rougned Odor for a game. According to multiple sources, outfielder Carlos Tocci and pitcher Martin Perez, currently on the DL, were fined.
