[ QUOTE ] Choi is nothing but a backup first basemen He's a good backup, but a backup none the less. [/ QUOTE ] 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". [/ QUOTE ] There is a pretty big difference in body type between those guys and Choi.

I am not good at measuring intangibles and I am sure there are passive people in BOS that did well (Bellhorn). But, for 350K or whatever it is, you don't think it is worth a shot? Either way, I am glad we agree that the LAD should have at least tried to get something. He is only 27 and has a lot of upside for 350K. craig

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.
