Athletics close to deal with Coco Crisp

ESPN.com's Buster Olney is reporting that the Athletics are closing in on a one year deal worth 5 million dollars.

Crisp, who has a .277 lifetime average and a .377 OBP, posted a disappointing .228 average during an injury-shortened 2009 season.

2009 - Coco Crisp 49 180 30 41 8 5 3 14 29 23 13 2 .228 .336 .378

This move probably means that Ryan Sweeney, Rajai Davis, and Scott Hairston will be shuffled around the corner outfield spots, unless Crisp really struggles out the gate.

One possibility that the A's could be considering is by bringing in Crisp, it gives them the option to move him if he has a good first half of the season.

The Padres, White Sox, and Cubs had interest in the outfielder.

Coco Crisp. Really?

Wasn’t Brian Jordan or Vince Coleman available? I realize that Billy Beane has a limited payroll, but Coco Crisp? As if the A’s offense wasn’t sporadic enough last season. He and the ownership ought to be run out of Oakland. And spare me the arguments regarding Billy Beane’s brilliance, the only thing he excels at is trading away all the A’s talent. And signing players like Coco Crisp.

YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....

Um, his career OBP is .331, not .377

They call their best player "Kung Fu Panda" and they complain that people aren’t taking them or the game seriously enough? -Nick
