Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Shin-Soo Choo, Texas Rangers Outfielder(on his hitting):

"I still, you know, three weeks left in spring training, but my timing is better now, the first couple games my timing was very late. But I try to, every at bat see as many pitches as I can. You know I see a lot of pitches, get my timing alright. Probably start next week, you know, try (to be) more aggressive."

SOUNDBITE (English) Shin-Soo Choo, Texas Rangers Outfielder(on his new team):

"Not easy for me like, you know for, the new players. But, hard for me (to) remember everybody's name - that's really tough for me. I have a media book, see every day, you know, see just trying (to) learn names. That's the most hard part for me, you know, but my relationship with the players is not tough because I played in Cleveland six years, I played against Texas many times so, you know, before game, between games, you know I talked to players so I think I play like two-three years already in Texas. I'm pretty comfortable staying at the clubhouse here."

SOUNDBITE (English) Shin-Soo Choo, Texas Rangers Outfielder(on Ron Washington):

"He's a very winning manager. There's a lot of action in the dugout, you know, he really wants to win and then I feel like his body language, how he talks to players, he seems like Dusty Baker - pretty similar, you know? And then Dusty and Ron Washington, I feel like very big hearted person. You know he really care about players so I think I'm very lucky, you know, I play with good managers."
