December 11, 201213 yr @DKnobler: "Reds deep in talks on deal to acquire Shin-Soo Choo from Indians for Stubbs and Gregorius." I like it. What say you?
December 11, 201213 yr I just now seen it. Looks like the Reds would receive someone else but no name was given. This would be huge of the Reds if they can be pull it off
December 11, 201213 yr Author Only under contract for one year, but if they're convinced Hamilton will be the CF/leadoff man of the future, that's the perfect bridge....Would be a great trade IMO.
December 11, 201213 yr I like Choo, don't love him. But I hate Drew Stubbs, and they don't really need Didi. So in that case...yes, please.
December 11, 201213 yr Jon Morosi @jonmorosi Source describes Indians-Reds talks on Choo as “forward-moving.”
December 11, 201213 yr Author Has a career slash of .289/.381/.465., a WAR last season of 5.6, which was 10th best in the AL. Only downside is he's played a grand total of 10 games in CF in his career and none since 2009.
December 11, 201213 yr He's not the greatest in the field and you have to wonder if they try to move Bruce to CF and let Choo stay and RF if it happens. The upgrade at the plate is well worth it IMO.
December 11, 201213 yr 1. Choo 2. Phillips 3. Votto 4. Ludwick 5. Bruce 6. Frazier 7. Cozart 8. Hanigan/Mez I can live with that.

The upgrade at the plate is well worth it IMO. I think you steer clear of moving Bruce because you don't want to jeopardize impacting his production at the plate. Choo is more of a contact spray hitter that probably wouldn't be negatively impacted by a move.
December 11, 201213 yr Author 1. Choo 2. Phillips 3. Votto 4. Ludwick 5. Bruce 6. Frazier 7. Cozart 8. Hanigan/Mez I can live with that. I don't see any glaring weakness to that lineup.
December 11, 201213 yr Not only do I not see glaring weaknesses, that lineup looks scary good. Frazier and Cozart were at the top of the lineup for a 97 win team for a lot of the year. And now they're 6th and 7th....
December 11, 201213 yr So basically we are trading 6 years of Didi and three years of Stubbs for one year of Choo?
December 11, 201213 yr So basically we are trading 6 years of Didi and three years of Stubbs for one year of Choo? 1. Stubbs sucks 2. Where is Did going to play? Didi has a career minor league average of .271 and hit .243 last year at AAA. Who knows when he will be ready and he is blocked by Cozart.
December 11, 201213 yr 1. Stubbs sucks 2. Where is Did going to play? Didn't say I didn't like. I'm just asking if that is correct. Choo will be a free agent correct? It will give Hamilton one more year in the minors.
