Potential Targets: Shin-Soo Choo

Target: Chin-Soo Choo, OF

2013 stats: .285 batting average, .423 on-base percentage, 34 doubles, 21 home runs, 54 RBIs, 20 stolen bases.

Choo is finally a free agent after being a rumored Texas Rangers target for a few years now. He's a right fielder by trade but could easily be moved over to left field to accommodate for the loss of David Murphy. Choo is an on-base machine, who routinely has on-base percentages hovering around .400, including his career-high mark in 2013.

He could also solve the Rangers' leadoff problem after Ian Kinsler had his struggles leading off and Leonys Martin eventually did as well after some early success in the position following his move there late in the season.

The question is whether the Rangers will be willing to match the other offers the Korean native gets, as several clubs will be after the Reds outfielder. In a market not exactly ripe with bats, he could be one of the biggest targets this winter and could command upwards of $100 million.
