Don't the Red Sox already have Youkilis and Snow (and Ortiz in emergency) at first? Maybe they're just stockpiling players.

Choi still has 2 option years left, and he was claimed off the waivers so the Red Sox didn't lose anything. Red Sox had spots on their 40 man after John Flaherty retired and Choi should start the year in Pawtucket.

Choi, most likely, will be put into a platoon with Kevin Youkilis at first base. Choi could also see time at DH, with J.T. Snow being the backup first baseman. Snow's hitting hasn't been the same the last few years, but Snow is still one of the major league's top defensive first baseman.

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
