Red Sox Claim Choi; Jays Lose Big

The Jays lost their spring training game today 16-3, but that's not the news that worries me. What's much more upsetting is the fact that the Boston Red Sox claimed Hee Seop Choi off waivers from the L.A. Dodgers. I'm very surprised that all 20 or so teams before Boston passed on him. Choi is consistently underrated by the media and it seems that impression may be shared by major league front offices. Sure he can't hit lefties, but he has a career .808 OPS versus right-handers. This is the definition of a low-risk, high-reward pickup.
