Interesting from Baseball Digest Daily

Thanks to Brew Crew Ball for finding this one.

Michael Street of Baseball Digest Daily has this:

Pacific Perspectives: 2009 Asian MLB Awards

Down at the end he unveils his MVP of Asian ballplayers. No surprise that it is Ichiro. Getting consideration is former Timber Rattler, Shin-soo Choo ('02). The part on Choo:
Shin-Soo Choo showed that 2008 wasn’t a fluke, as he hit .300/.394/.489 for the Indians in his first full season. He’s emerged as an offensive force in the middle of their lineup with 87 RBI and 86 R (and the Asian Three True Outcomes champ, with 43% of his ABs resulting in a BB, K or HR).
There are stats and everything, too.

How did he wind up with Cleveland again?
July 26, 2006: Traded by the Seattle Mariners with a player to be named later to the Cleveland Indians for a player to be named later, Ben Broussard and cash.
Oh, right. I always get that one mixed up with this one...
June 30, 2006: [Asrubal Cabrera] Traded by the Seattle Mariners to the Cleveland Indians for Eduardo Perez.
Common mistake.
