SEATTLE -- A knock on the door at his Tacoma apartment Wednesday morning started one of the most memorable days of Shin-Soo Choo's career.

Article also mentions that Snelling is back (and he is hitting .438 in 16 at bats), but Choo might have been the safter choice, although he has tore through the system a little fast. But, he was impressive during the spring so maybe he can hit at this level now, but he'll be back in Tacoma soon enough.

Choo may very well be a year away defensively but offensively i think he can hold is own.
