"I'm ready to join the national squad, if I get a call," he said. "I have been talking with my club on the issue. I want to take part in the Asian Games." South Korea's baseball team won its first-ever Olympic gold in Beijing last year and aims to win the Asian Games scheduled to be held in Guangzhou in November next year. A gold medal in Guangzhou would give Choo an exemption from two-year compulsory military service, which he is required to serve before age 30. South Korean law allows exceptions if a player or his team wins an Asian Games gold or at least a bronze medal at the Olympics. A number of players, including Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Park Chan-ho, have benefited from the exception.

He showed a knack for stealing bases in the Minors, but he hadn't brough that skill to the Major League level until this year. With a .300 batting average, 86 RBIs, 87 runs and the 20/20 feat on his 2009 resume, the 26-year-old has positioned himself as a tempting draft choice for 2010. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Shin-soo_Choo/564126 564126 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 1:16:17 EDT mlb.com 50 days 17 hours 55 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Shin-soo_Choo/564126 Choo went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI in the Indians' loss to the Red Sox Saturday.

But one player who has had a good season is outfielder Shin-Soo Choo. The Indians were held to one run and three hits in a 6-1 loss to the White Sox on Monday night. Choo had two of the hits -- a home run and a double. The double was his 38th of the season and the home run was his 19th. Both are career highs. Choo also has 83 RBI and 20 stolen bases, both of which are tops on the Indians as well as career highs. It has been a solid all-around season for the 27-year-old left-handed hitter. Since the midseason trade of Victor Martinez, Choo has become the Indians' No. 3 hitter, although he also has hit in the cleanup spot more times than anyone on the team. Defensively, Choo has the strongest arm of any Indians outfielder. Looking ahead to 2010, Choo figures to again be the Indians' everyday right fielder and a middle-of-the-order hitter.

Given that he has 20 steals, he's on the verge of becoming the 11th player -- and only the fifth outfielder -- to attain 20/20 status in '09. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Shin-soo_Choo/549911 549911 Sat, 26 Sep 2009 23:04:22 EDT mlb.com 57 days 20 hours 7 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Shin-soo_Choo/549911 News: Fernando Rodney earned his 35th save despite allowing a two-run homer to Shin-Soo Choo in the ninth inning on Sunday in a 6-5 Tigers win over the Indians.
