OF Shin-Soo Choo, who was hit by pitches six times in 85 games last season, has already been hit by pitches an American League-high five times in 35 games this year. The team record for most times being hit by a pitch in a season is 20 by Ryan Garko in 2007.

Choo was one of the few batters who thrived Saturday against Miami, batting 2-for-4.
Recommendation: Choo continues to thrive since being moved to the top of the order, a lineup slot well suited for him given his .377 OBP. Choo's has yet to show the power he demonstrated in his breakout campaign of 2010, but he certainly appears poised to at least be more valuable than he was 2011 if he maintains his current pace for steals and runs scored.

Choo had a big fantasy effort Wednesday in a 9-3 win over Seattle on Wednesday night.
