Re: Hee Seop Choi to the Red Sox, for NOTHING.
One difference between Choi and Ortiz/Hafner is, scouts were still very high on Ortiz/Hafner as hitters when they broke out. Choi has supposedly lost bat speed since he put up those monster numbers in the minors, making his comps not quite as effective.
One thing that is similar amongst those players (I don't know anything about the guy from the 70's) is that they are all DH's.
