Coco Crisp Decides Where To Sign

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | January 3, 2012 at 2:29pm CDT

2:29pm: An announcement from Crisp's new team should come today or tomorrow, Comte tells Joe Stiglich of the Bay Area News Group.  Comte ruled out the Cubs, while Stiglich gets the impression Crisp could return to the A's.

TUESDAY, 7:33am: Though the Orioles talked to Crisp's agent, Heyman does not believe they are the team he chose.  The O's are looking elsewhere for a leadoff hitter.

MONDAY, 8:55pm: The Orioles have been talking to Crisp in recent days and they’re interested in signing him, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports. However, it hasn’t been confirmed that the Orioles are the mystery team.

7:19pm: Coco Crisp won’t be on the open market much longer. The free agent outfielder has decided which team he’ll sign with, agent Steve Comte told Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.

"Basically, we just have to let that team know," Comte told Slusser.

The Athletics want to re-sign Crisp, according to Slusser. They’ve been in touch with him all offseason, but 12-13 other teams have discussed Crisp with Comte. The A’s have also spoken to free agent Ryan Ludwick, according to Slusser. Oakland selected Ludwick in the second round of the 1999 draft and traded him to the Rangers three years later.

The switch-hitting Crisp led the American League with 49 stolen bases in 2011, hitting .264/.314/.379 with 27 doubles as Oakland's center fielder. The California native seems to prefer West Coast teams, but explained in September that he’s also looking to play on a winner and find a good "financial situation" for himself.

      The signing of Beltran counts them out. I think someone like the Braves or Marlins sign him. Though if he wanted badly to stay on the West Coast, I could see the Padres going after him, given that his speed and defense would play well at Petco Park. Granted they just acquired Quentin, but they could either move Maybin to right or just move Crisp himself and then bench Venable as a forth outfielder, depending on how the Padres view him in their future plans. I know the Padres are still in the rebuilding mode, but if Crisp were having a good year, he could be flipped to a contender at the Trade Deadline for prospects, which for a rebuilding club is always good news.

      Sabean said that the Giants were done making major moves awhile ago. Plus, where would they play him? They already have Cabrera, Pagan, and Schierholtz in the outfield, and I doubt any one of them are benched as Crisp wouldn’t be an upgrade over any of them (other than Cabrera defensively, though he is more or less starting for his bat which is why J. Sanchez was traded for him).

        I would still take him as the super 4th type OF and let him play RF part time regardless of the weak arm issues until Kalish is ready from his surgery and rehab.

        crisp can help a team in so many ways.. his arm and lack of power are the only 2 chinks in his game.

          Don’t get me wrong I like the guy. He is a great defensive player and the speed is nice, but he is looking to get paid and our remaining cash has to go towards a starter and some depth. If we get someone for RF I wouldn’t bet against it being someone who gets dropped from another team during ST.

    underrated player based on WAR. He could set off a pretty good chain-reaction for Florida: Crisp to CF, Coghlan to LF, LoMo to 1B, trade Sanchez for a 5th starter (Zambrano? makes sense for both teams).

        just as a base for a deal, CHC would probably have to toss something in (a reliever?), but counting on Sanchez being made irrelevant by the chain reaction and Ozzie loving Zambrano? not that Sanchez has an amazing bat for a 1b, but he’s a better stopgap for the Cubs than LaHair

        I thought that the reason they inquired about Coco is because they have a taker on Soriano. Putting Coco over in left is the obvious spot. But I am sure that the Cubs would eat a large portion of Soriano’s contract to ship him elsewhere. So who knows.

          wouldn’t make much sense for the Cubs, they have a superior version in Dejesus, an inferior version in Byrd, and a junior version in Sappelt. Far more likely to see them trade Byrd and/or Johnson at the deadline and see what Jackson has than to add OFs

          • jb226 2

            14 years ago

            Depends on the deal.  A switch-hitting outfielder with good defense is always a valuable commodity at the deadline, and having him allows the team to promote Jackson when they feel he is ready rather than because of a need on the big-league club.  That is assuming they were to also have a taker for Soriano, of course.

            And none of that precludes trading Byrd and/or Johnson at the deadline; neither of those players figure into the Cubs’ long-term plans, so they remain as expendable as they are today.

      It will be hard for Coghlan to land an opening day spot. Regardless of his issues with the franchise, Bonafacio is a better fit in LF, assuming Sanchez is traded for a pitcher.

      Underrated by many fans who have never watched him play on a consistent basis IMO. His ability to do the small things well, play GG defense, steal bases are under rated by a lot of fans.

      Have a feeling GM’s and front office people do not make that same mistake and blindly swat away people of his caliber.

        Not to mention Raburn and Kelly are both likely to be retained (as in not traded/released). I suppose they could sign him in case Jackson slumps hard, but that would be fairly expensive insurance.

              Austin Jackson couldn’t hit his way out of a wet paper bag. He’s not a worthy leadoff hitter and even DD has said that. The Tigers have been looking at Cespedes for 3 years now, so I’m pretty sure Dombrowski has his eyes set on him and will do whatever it takes.

    The Nats make the most sense.  The fits Z’s MO in Seattle.  Cleveland would be interesting but probably not.  I wouldn’t count Miami out.  Lastly, would Philly give him two years to play LF these year and then take over CF when Victorino leaves?

    wouldn’t make a lot of sense for the cubs at this point unless soriano and byrd are both moved.  right now he would be a 4th outfielder and only useful for a defensive replacement/pinch runner at the end of games, which campana can do for a lot cheaper.  i think he signs with the giants.

    The Dodgers don’t need Crisp…they need a middle order power hitter…Cody Ross or Ludwick makes sense.  With their pitching, this would be a line-up good enough to challenge the D-Backs/Rockies:

    SS-Gordon
    2B-Ellis
    RF-Either
    CF-Kemp
    LF-Ross
    1B-Loney
    3B-Uribe/Kennedy/Hairston
    C-Ellis
    P-Kershaw/Billingsly/Lilly/Harang/Capuano

    A deadline deal to add a legit 3b and shore up the pitching staff, and you have a contender.  Unfortunately LA is content with a Sands/Rivera platoon in LF and Tony Gwynn Jr. as an alternate.  And it’s unlikely they’ll make any real move to fill the hole at 3B.  As it is, they may finish somewhere around 3rd or 4th in the NL West, and a pitching injury or two drops them into last.

      As much as I hate Rivera, he’s not any worse than Ross.

      You can’t possibly speculate in January that a deadline deal 6 months later will make the Dodgers a contender. That depends entirely on both their record at the time and the quality of player they’re trading for.

      And what prospects do they have that would land a “legit” 3b?

      They have Zach Lee who is untouchable, Eovaldi is a nice piece but is hardly a centerpiece, Lindblom who is good but isn’t exactly on many team wishlists, and that’s about it. 

      Simply making an arbitrary claim about a team needing X and Y to be a contender without analyzing the feasibility of such a proposal doesn’t cut it.

        Well the problem is Green & Choice arent ready yet and Carter and Allen are probably going to flop. Crisp, Cowgill, Reddick and Taylor all splitting time equally isn’t a bad thing at all, and could well be a better situation than last year: No more Willingham and his atrocious defense, and no more DDJ and his underwhelming bat. Reddick is a better option than both and we get to see if Taylor and Cowgill sink or swim in the bigs. 

        Coco isnt exactly known for being a gamer either, other than last year hes been injured a lot and really shouldn’t be relied on for a full year. I think it makes sense to resign him and let him play CF as much as he can, with Cowgill spotting him and Taylor and Reddick in the corners, and if Crisp goes bananas he can always be moved for prospects to a contender. I like the idea of bringing back Coco.

          Also, you could just let crappy stopgap guys like fiorentino or pridie fill in until green and choice are ready

            And get no prospects back for them? I think the idea of signing a FA just so you can trade him if he pans out is perfect. Its like the “you have to spend money to make money” idea, only its “you have to buy a player to turn him into prospects”. 

            Its a really smart move to keep stockpiling the farm for 2014. Hell, I’d grab Oswalt, Harden and whoever else pitching-wise too, just for flipping purposes. Its not really blocking anyone other than Gray and the guys gotten for Cahill/Gio, and Beane wants to hold off starting those clocks as long as possible. Turning Oswalt or Harden into a young C+/B- prospect at the deadline instead of playing AAAA crud is great business.

              Well yeah, i guess, as long as it doesn’t take away from the budget to bid on soler

    I’d like to see him in left for the Phillies, though I imagine I am in the minority among Phils fans.

      I had suggested the same though now it seems my post was deleted?!
      At least we wouldnt have to worry about Jimmy Jogs-Alot leading off for us.

    Maybe Crisp should hold a prime time special to announce his decision.

    I thought he wanted to go to a contender? Guess not if it’s the A’s.

    This is almost as exciting and self serving as Lebron’s “The Decision”

    Well thank you for ruling out the Cubs… I could have ruled them out after their signings thus far…  They are gunning for the #1 draft pick of 2013… LoL!!

    Coco’s Decision: 2012

    Who really gives a flying puff?

    I didn’t realize Coco Crisp was the co-star of “Ice Loves Coco”, only someone who’s shooting some lame reality show would even begin to tinker with the idea of “Coco Crisp holds the baseball nation hostage as the world awaits his decision to sign a one year incentive laden deal with a club option for 2013”, that was the original name for the special actually, but Coco’s Crispy Decision ended up winning the honor in the end.

    This is bordering on Coco doing a LeBron impersonation and where he will be taking his talents.  Just tell us where you will be spending half the season on the DL.

    Oh just tell us what team gets you CoCo its not like you are some major superstar like Prince or Albert (Price Albert?) and its not like all MLB teams want you or anything. This is more ego prima donna than anything. Hes trying to be Lebron James ..

     Why all the secrecy—-Crisp isn’t Pujols?

      Agreed, but why is this website posting a headline like that?  A reporter probably asked him and his agent and they have to wait to make it official.

    “I’m taking my talents to…”

    This is ridiculous. It’s Coco Crisp, people.
