Sat Mar 22 2014 | 19:20 | Choice drills three-run homer against Royals |
Michael Choice hit a three-run home run against the Royals on Saturday. |
The homer, his third of the spring, came in Choice's first at-bat of the game. He raised his average to .333, and the homer also gave him 10 RBI on the spring. The outfielder is expected to platoon with left-handed hitting Mitch Moreland as the team's designated hitter this season but has likely earned himself a few more at-bats with his strong spring. |

Sat Mar 15 2014 | 00:44 | Choice plates lone run in loss to Reds |
Michael Choice went 2-for-2 and plated the Rangers lone run in Friday's Cactus League loss to the Reds. |
Both of Choice's hits were doubles. The 24-year-old outfielder got the start in left field in this contest, but is likely to serve as the Rangers regular designated hitter against southpaws during the season. |

Sun Dec 29 2013 | 09:22 | Choice could be DH against left-handers |
Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said that the team plans to start Michael Choice or another right-handed bat in the designated hitter spot against lefties. |
Mitch Moreland will form the long side of the platoon against right-handers. Choice could also see starts in center field versus southpaws in place of Leonys Martin, who has struggled against lefties. So, even after the Shin-Soo Choo signing, Choice could still receive a decent number of at-bats. He might have some value in AL-only leagues. |

Tue Dec 3 2013 | 14:11 | Rangers get Michael Choice from A's |
Rangers acquired OF Michael Choice and INF Chris Bostick from the Athletics for OF Craig Gentry and RHP Josh Lindblom. |
The Athletics have now traded their top draft picks from 2008-2010. Choice, a first-rounder in 2010, made his major league debut this past season and owns a .290/.376/.482 batting line in the minors. While his power has tapered off over the past two seasons, it's still a bit surprising to see the Athletics give up on his tools. The 24-year-old could be in the mix for the starting left fielder job if the Rangers stand pat, but we have a feeling they have some more moves up their sleeve. |

Sun Sep 1 2013 | 11:36 | Athletics recall Michael Choice from Triple-A |
Athletics recalled OF Michael Choice from Triple-A Sacramento. |
The 23-year-old outfielder was enjoying a nice season at Sacramento, hitting .302/.390/.445 with 14 homers and 89 RBI in the hitter-friendly PCL. He'll serve as additional depth on the bench, but becomes interesting in AL-only leagues if he can find consistent at-bats. |

Tue Jul 24 2012 | 16:11 | Michael Choice shut down with broken hand |
Michael Choice has been shut down for the remainder of the 2012 season due to a fractured hand. |
Choice was batting .287/.356/.423 with 10 home runs, 15 doubles and 58 RBI in 91 games this year at Double-A Midland. The former No. 10 overall pick should climb to the Triple-A level at some point next season. |
