Choi is nothing but a backup first basemen He's a good backup, but a backup none the less.

in your opinion. personally, i think he should start for the red sox and youk at 3B. if a guy can start at 1B for a 90 win+ team, then hes not a 'solid backup'.
his top 3 comps for this year are:
ortiz 2003
kusick 1976
durazo 2001
hafner 2004
those are not 'backup' seasons. of course he may not have a season like any of those guys, but his career to this point shows huge similarities to guys ready to "breakout".

There is a pretty big difference in body type between those guys and Choi.

choi 6'5 245
ortiz 6'4 230
hafner 6'3 240
durazo 6'3 240
kusick 6'3 232
now i havent seen much of choi on film, so i may be unaware of a 3rd testicle or tail or something.

1. Height and weight of pro athletes are never reliable.
2. Body fat and muscle tone can't be figured from said weight and height.
