ARLINGTON -- General manager Jon Daniels on Wednesday acknowledged the club will carry Shin-Soo Choo on the AL Division Series roster, but stopped short of defining a role. It is most likely Choo will start in right field after a weekend audition following a six-week recovery from a fractured wrist. Rosters must be submitted by 10 a.m. CT Thursday.

"I think so," Daniels said of adding Choo. "You don't want to overthink it. You want to take your best players who are healthy and ready to go."

The bigger question is where Choo will hit: The Rangers hit him seventh, first and second over the final three days of the season. Hitting him seventh involves the least amount of juggling of the roster.

Mustang, Bobby: Bobby Jones will ride off into the sunset in a 1965 fire engine red Mustang convertible.

With the entire team and members of the front office looking on, general manager Jon Daniels presented the long-time coach and current replay coordinator with the fully-restored car Wednesday as a gift from the organization. Jones, who turns 67 Tuesday, has spent all but three of his 50 seasons in professional baseball with the Washington Senators/Rangers organization.

The car was a replacement for a similar car Jones left behind when he entered the U.S. Army in 1968. He left the Mustang to his brother, who traded it in for a Plymouth Roadrunner. Jones, who will throw out the first pitch before Game 1, had to fight off some tears after the presentation.

"My brother is off the hook now; I forgive him," Jones said with a laugh. "But I've always wanted another one. That these guys did something like this for me is pretty special. I can't believe it."

Ump show: Chad Fairchild will be the plate umpire in a Cole Hamels start for the second time this season. Hamels gave up one unearned run in 5 1/3 innings during a win at Kansas City in July.

The Rangers have won the last two games in which Fairchild had the plate. Since 2010, they are 5-3 with a 4.88 ERA when Fairchild has the plate.

Toronto is much more familiar with Fairchild. He had the plate in five of their games this season. In the last four years, the Blue Jays are 6-8 with a 4.48 with Fairchild at the plate.

Diekman with a "K": "Throw strikes" is the mantra for left-handed reliever Jake Diekman in the postseason.

Opponents hit only .189 against Diekman during the regular season. Walks caused problems. He allowed 12 walks in his last 11 1/3 innings. Four of the walks turned into runs.

"The reason I get into trouble is because I beat myself and get down in counts," Diekman said. "I can't go 2-0, 3-1. When I get up in counts, I feel like I can fare pretty well."

Diekman had two scoreless innings in three appearances against Toronto during the regular season.
