Choi Watch

I will probably look in from time to time to see how Hee Seop Choi is doing. I still think he will be a very productive major leaguer, and i grew attached to him over the years.

In Winter ball for the Magallanes Navigators in Venezuela Choi batted .271 with 4 HR's, 13 runs, 14 RBI's, and a .347 OBP. For a top prospect you might expect better. He has only had 85 AB's. Not exactly enough to get a rythm but he has flashed good power and good RBI ability in that limited time. Though he still is striking out way to much, with 25 punch outs in those same amount of at bats. Which means he is struggling still, probably on those curves.

What draws me to Choi is that when he is struggling his numbers arent horrific. Which is the sign of a good hitter who hasnt put it together yet. I know some never do, Choi might be one of those. You never know. But you know something is there that is very special.
