Shin-Soo Choo is embarking on his fourth season with the Texas Rangers, and that seems little bit hard to believe.
But it’s true that he was signed in December 2013 to a seven-year deal and has entered each of the past three seasons thought to be a key piece to the Rangers’ success.
The same holds true again for 2017.
Yet, in the past three seasons Choo has played only 320 of the possible 486 games. He has been on the disabled list five times, four of them coming last season. In hindsight, he said he should have gone on the disabled list another time in 2014.
