Well this is just an awesome move by Shin Soo Choo any way you slice it. There's no way Choo has a relationship with half of these guys. He probably hasn't even met a decent amount yet here he is handing out $1,000 to all of them.

Now don't go and Google Choo's salary telling me the % of it that is $190,000. I HATE when celebrities make charitable donations and get shit on for not giving more. No one is asking them to do it in the first place! If Choo decided to hold onto his $190,000 for himself no one would be calling him out. Not a soul would utter Choo's name. God forbid someone does a nice thing in this world. $1000 to some of these low end minor leaguers is going to help a lot to alleviate some pressure in the coming months. Anything helps.
