'You have to be a professional': Willie Calhoun in danger of alienating teammates after demotion to Triple-A

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Shin-Soo Choo has a story.

It would be good idea for Willie Calhoun to pull up a chair.

If only he was in camp.

Calhoun is upset he is not on the roster. He left Rangers camp Thursday after being told he'd start the season in the minor leagues. He was absent Friday and was officially optioned to Triple-A Nashville, starting a 72-hour window for him to report or he could be placed on the suspended list. It may take less time than that for him to cause significant damage to his relationship with teammates, which brings us back to Choo's story.
