Is anyone calling him much more than a fringe player?
AL teams generally own NL teams in interleague play when the games are played in AL parks. Like you do a double take at the betting line every time it comes out.
The Brewers are actually better equipped than most teams, but it generally is because the AL team has Edwin Encarnacion or Jose Abreu at DH and the Brewers/NL team have a fringe platoon hitter that they've just called up for the week.
There was a ton of talk in spring training from fans Oh, Choi has to make the team, he's crushing it in spring training! Haudricourt probably said something about it too because he's a simpleton.
