Choo has an out on military service: From the Korea Herald: Indians outfielder Choo Shin-Soo of South Korea is eager to play for his national team at the Asian Games slated for next year in China, according to Yonhap News. "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.

Fantasy Analysis

The 27-year-old Choo, hit .300 with 20 home runs and 21 stolen bases in the 2009 season -- making him the first Asian player to exceed 20 or more home runs and stolen bases in a season. Consider him a candidate to pick among the top 25 outfielders in Fantasy next season, especially since he could even improve upon his breakthrough season at age 27.
