The Indians have acquired outfielder Michael Choice from the Rangers, as T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com first reported on Twitter. Cleveland will send cash considerations to complete the deal, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram tweets.
Choice, 25, was designated for assignment recently to clear space for the Rangers’ acquisition of Will Venable. Once a top-100 prospect, Choice has stumbled since heading to Texas in return for Craig Gentry before the 2014 season.
Given a chance at the big league level last year, Choice put up a .182/.250/.320 slash in 280 plate appearances. While he hit well at Triple-A that year, he’s managed only a .244/.309/.399 batting line this season at the highest level of the minors.
Too bad they traded Bourn. I would have liked to see the “Three Michael-teers” OF alignment of Bourn, Brantley, and Choice.
Fishing for minnows.
Are they determined to have an all AAAA roster? Is the FO on some sort of dare from a TV reality program?
I’m all for it. Theye would win all the time considering they’d have no one to face
