Angels will have to decide what to do with Rafael Ortega and Ji-Man Choi

The Angels will soon face a roster decision. When left fielder Daniel Nava is activated from the disabled list, perhaps on Friday, they probably will remove either Rafael Ortega or Ji-Man Choi from their major league roster.

They can option Ortega to triple-A Salt Lake whenever they'd like. They cannot option Choi without first offering him back to Baltimore, the team that signed him as a minor league free agent in the off-season.

But Ortega has played far more than Choi and played better. So, the Angels may soon cut bait on the 24-year-old first baseman they selected in December's Rule 5 draft.
