    No, he isn't worth it regardless.

    ...NL players are assumed to be incapable of hitting in the AL until they actually do so?...I suppose that NL teams should conversely shy away from AL hitters then?..., if you can hit, you can hit, regardless of what league you're playing in.

    ...and Granderson provides protection but Choo wouldn't?...someone who strikes out as often as Granderson doesn't exactly instill fear in opposing pitchers...he's a skinnier version of Adam Dunn.

    Actually Choo has done it in the AL, many times, so I was wrong to call him out.

    But yes, I feel career NL batters have to prove it the AL and generally will not do as well, unless they become Red Sox of course.

    There are concerns with Choo though, he can't touch lefties, not a good thing for the Yankees.

    ...^^^ I know I'll regret this but OK, let's hear it, why do NL hitters have a tougher time hitting in the AL?


    ...and FYI, Choo is better vs LHed pitching than your boy Granderson.

    vs LH the past three seasons-

    Choo- .626 OPS
    Granderson- .840 OPS

    How is Choo better?
