Open up a way for the Red Sox to trade Coco.I think if they do trade Crisp the Reds is one place he could very well end up.He would make a great CF in GABP for the next 4 or so years.

If hes not injured and learns how to hit again. His .700 ops in Boston is weaksauce.
I would love to see Coco in CF on a daily basis. The guys last year consistently(1/game) looked to get bad reads off the bat.Originally Posted by fewfirstchoice

SIGN ME UP TOO.
That's like saying If I can get a $5 for two $1, I'd do it.
Where would Freel fit on their roster?
I dont know if you guys realize how bad Crisp bat has been the last 2 years.
Yes, but the Red Sox have also been screwing with him by not keeping him in one spot in the order. And they started that right off the bat. The Coco Crisp that played for the Red Sox is someone the Reds don't need. If you could get the one who played for the Indians, then that might be a different story. The thing is you sign him to be your leadoff guy and even in Cleveland his OBP was only .345. Other than power, there is nothing that the 2004-05 Crisp brings that Hopper doesn't do as well or better. Then, there is the matter of Jay Bruce, who very well can or will do EVERYTHING better than Crisp ever did. The only way I think the Reds should or would make the trade is if Griffey is traded/injured for the season. Otherwise there is not a starting position for him. Crisp wants to start. Why ride the bench for the Reds if you can for the Red Sox?
Freel might not be a GG defender but he can play every position on the field and has had a OBP around .370 every year since hes gotten the at bats, and if Bruce is on the MLB roster I think Freel could be a big asset to have on the roster.
Coffey I dont want to give up on after all the work hes put in supposedly this off season.
Part of me says take the chance but the other part of me says no thanks.
Also Im adding that Crisp line from the lead off spot is .266/.314/.374 across 1048 at bats.

coffey walks plus hits per inning put him clearly in the pyromaniac squad along with Brad Pennington and Rick Krivda
i want no part of coco crisp
It may be difficult to trade Freel, as he is coming off an injury and has seen his production drop. It will not hurt to talk to Boston, however.
Boston is probably saying the same thing right now.
Crisp is overrated, i'd rather keep Coffey to see how much he's improved.
