BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
OWNED IN: 53% of Yahoo leagues
ANALYSIS: Available in just under 50% of leagues, Shin-Soo Choo is a solid option to have on your watch list if you are in need of a boost or an injury replacement. The 35-year-old Choo tends to be an afterthought come draft day, yet has been able to string together a solid stat line when healthy (only played 48 games in 2016).
Choo is off to a great start in 2018 with a .325/.386/.625 slash line and a 50.0% hard contact rate. He has recently been moved atop the Rangers order after an injury to Delino DeShields, so he will see even more at-bats and scoring opportunities for the foreseeable future.
While he may not be the fantasy star that he was in the past, .829 career OPS dipped to .780 last season, Choo provides decent depth and plays his home games in a hitter's park. If you are in need of an OF3, Choo should be a decent pick as a starter in deeper leagues or as bench depth in all formats.
