Crisp Rumor Hardly Fresh
by The Cheat on Nov 24, 2009 7:35 PM CST
in White Sox Rumors
Email
PrintIt's not even Thanksgiving yet, and it's already beginning to seem like the daily White Sox rumors are simply those that have trotted out in the past. Today, it's Coco Crisp, no longer as a not-living-up-to-his-contract CFer on the trade market, but as a just-coming-off-of-two-shoulder-surgeries free agent. The White Sox and Royals are said to be interested.
Crisp might be a good buy-low candidate for a team in need of a CFer, but the Sox have about $12M/yr tied up in their CF solution. And their true need lies at a corner outfield spot and DH, where Crisp's bat becomes a much bigger liability.
Elsewhere, the Sox are not among those teams listed as interested in Nick Johnson, who has become a bit of a cause célèbre around here.

He could hit 100 HR and people would groan and say: fuck him, he’s not a Yankee, he doesn’t bang 40 different supermodels a day, he’s not an asshole, he seems to care about the community, he respects baseball history, what a douchebag.

Crisp is a worthy gamble for about 2.5/yr.
He can be a part of a rotation between Quentin, Rios and Vladdy….OR….Matsui….of course, he likely wouldn’t ever play the field. Throw Kotsay in there as well. Flexibility.Different strengths among those five. Power, speed, defensive maneuverability. I’m all for it for a reasonable price IF he checks out physically.
If we were to sign Crisp.....
I think it makes it easier to absorb someone who cannot play the outfield at all….like a Matsui. And, the fact that he’s left-handed makes him, in some regards, more attractive than Vlad anyway.
If Dye can play the field Matsui can play the field
Just sayin’
The world needs the Jedi now more than ever
if matsui could play even oart of the field, he wouldn't have 55,000 porn movies.

I guess it depends on how you view Crisp defensively...
UZR had him great one year in CF and terrible another year in the two years where he played significant innings in CF. I would tend to guess the one real bad defensive year for him is more of a fluke than anything…
If he comes cheap I don’t really have a problem with it. Bill James’ projections have Crisp pegged at a .330 wOBA (.740 OPS) while ZiPS is a little less optimistic (.710 OPS — that’s probably around a .320 wOBA average, yes?). Average for a CFer is right around 335 (give or take), so if the Sox view Crisp as a plus CFer (+5-10 UZR), he’s essentially a league average player and thus definitely worth the $2-3 million.
This brings us back to Rios. Do people not buy into Cameron’s point that a player’s value isn’t going to change by moving him from one OF position to another? In any case it’s all gonna hinge on his bat. If he really has fallen off a cliff we’re pretty fucked, regardless of whether he’s in CF or RF. An 81 OPS+ doesn’t play anywhere (unless you’re Franklin Gutierrez on defense, which Rios is not).
So I guess you can put me into the camp that wouldn’t mind seeing this happen. If nothing else I want to see this team be kick-ass at run prevention, and signing Crisp would be a step in that direction.
If we're going after a center fielder, I prefer Cameron.
However, he will cost twice what Crisp or Winn will cost. Crisp could leadoff and he can play cf or lf rather well. And Cameron is right, play them at their best positions for the benefit of the team and don’t worry about how their bat plays at the position.
piss up a rope fuckstick ...................by hoodlight
Crisp can lead off?
Anyone can leadoff. But not everyone should. Crisp shouldn’t. He’s a career .330 OBP that shouldn’t be at the top of the lineup. Fast != should be leading off.

that's why I prefer Cameron.
Get the better ballplayer and don’t worry so much about where they bat.

Cameron's an interesting idea...
He strikes out a bit too much for my tastes though
by Can I Kick It? on Nov 25, 2009 9:51 AM CST up reply actions
But if Rios does suck at the plate, having Crisp hurts I think
Having someone out there in LF or RF that can actually hit would be imperative if Rios is going to go all 81 OPS+. You can argue that Crisp would be just as good as “nameless powerful LF” overall because of his glove, but I don’t buy that. So I guess I don’t buy Cameron’s argument in 2 ways:
1) Really, doesn’t a CF have a chance to make more plays than LF. Really?
2) I don’t trust defensive valuations to the point where I’m sure a good UZR makes up for the bad hitting.
The bottom line for me is that the Sox need offense and Crisp is a bad offensive player. Coming off 2 shoulder surgeries, how can anyone feel sure he’ll once again get his OBP up to the glorious level of his career .330 ? I don’t.
The only good thing that could come of this is that it might be the end of Pods…or it could be Crisp LF and Pods DH. Ugh.
Anyway, Kenny — if you’re reading this I vote no.
by hitlesswonder on Nov 24, 2009 11:16 PM CST up reply actions
Not that you'd necessarily disagree with this
but I wouldn’t specify it as much as you do when you say “the Sox need offense”. I’d say the Sox need good players. If that “good” comes mainly on the defensive side of the ball, so be it.
Regarding the shoulder surgeries, I’m giving the Sox medical staff the benefit of the doubt. If the Sox have legit interest, I’m guessing his shoulders are checking out.
I should also clarify that I wouldn’t be thrilled if they ended up signing him. I’m just saying that, given the payroll constraints (Cheat has them at about $92 million with Vizquel on board. USA Today had them at around $97 million for opening day of last year (they probably paid out more than that when you consider the Peavy + Rios + Pena acquisitions, but I can’t see them starting the year much over $100 million to start 2010.)), Crisp on a cheap-ish deal doesn’t strike me as unreasonable.
so you're basically saying you want a better overall player than Crisp for third OF
because you’re wary of RIos?

this rumor is baseless even by rumor's standards
For one, we’re spending a jillion dollars on Rios. While Crisp might have some kind of value, I don’t think he’s ready to sign a cheap contract as a backup yet before he sees if he’s someones answer in CF.
Secondly, we’ve got one quote from his agent that says the Sox are interested (oh, “but we haven’t talked dollars yet”). An agent trying to gin up interest from KC probably, and keep his client in the news.
His name is Rios and he dances on the sand
When's the last time anyone in our organization has said
“We are definitely not interested” other than to a high-priced FA? Of course we are interested, and price/perceived value is always the main issue.
"don tink about new jork. jus come in ready to wing de gay."
I agree with Nordy on the Rios point.
What you said is true too, but interested in what? A 4th OF?
"his ballerness could not be stoped which rose his era to 5.42 "
In anyone of value.
Why would you limit yourself out of the box? If the Sox thought they were getting a bargain for Crisp (“stealing”) they’d be interested. My point is that they should be open-minded to anyone of value/in their price range that fits a need.
And FNS this holiday season. :)
"don tink about new jork. jus come in ready to wing de gay."
I guess I'm asking "what's the need"?
Late inning D for Q!?
Rest Rios once a week?
I thought our “need” was for a hitting RF (or LF if Q! moves to RF) and a DH. So regardless of how cheap Coco Puffs may be, what’s the point?
"his ballerness could not be stoped which rose his era to 5.42 "
Crisp has enough of a skill set
to be a second division starter in the outfield. Keith mentioned that it doesn’t really matter if he’s in CF or RF. We also need a backup CF.

The problem is that the reason Lopez doesn’t fit in Seattle is painfully obvious to anyone who’s scouted the team. While his power is a plus at the second-base position, other teams have seen his lack of range and quickness in the field – and his .303 career on-base percentage at the plate.

A total of 6,743,000 women have suffered physical or psychological violence, said the report.

Trade Bobby Jenks for an outfielder, any ideas who?
I would go for Matt Thornton for our closer over Bobby Jenks. Bobby makes me too nervous. Its like good Rex bad Rex. We have a real trade worthy caliber guy like Bobby Jenks that we can shop around for a trade to get an outfielder with good defensive skills, good speed, a good arm, and hopefully home run power. I know its hard to get all that but for Bobby Jenks I think we got more chances to get it then if the Sox explore cheap free agents.
If we can pull it off we can either ink Pods or Thome for the DH spot. I would rather trade Bobby than Konerko, right?? Unless of course this Adrian Gonzalez Padres deal with Sox gets more realistic if we include Konerko and Jenks, but we couldn’t give away any young prospects like Jordan Danks, Jared Mitchell, Tyler Flowers, or Dayan Viciedo in that deal. Konerko and Bobby are enough. We would almost need another prospect included with Adrian to make the deal happen. But any thoughts? I may be way off reality here.

The problem with your trade is that
you are trading two players to San Diego that make a combined $21M. San Diego is looking for young players that can play now and cost minimal amount of money. SD would NEVER want Jenks or Konerko.
I think the talks between the Sox and SD are legit and did happen, but I’m not sure how far they will go. I doubt we could land Gonzo, but I would love to have him.
SD would ask for Beckham, Hudson, Torres, Flowers, which we know we would never give. I think we would look to trade a package of Torres, Flowers, Danks or Mitchell, Morel, & Retherford instead. If the Angels wanted PK, then we could trade him to LAA for one top prospect that would go to SD in our package of prospects.
PK is no longer worth a top prospect
and LAA has no place to play him

Are you ever going to change your name?
3TO, Dotel-Style:
Octavio Dotel: The Adam Dunn of relief pitchers, 44 percent of Dotel’s plate appearances as a pitcher ended in a walk, strikeout, or homer. The end result is valuable, just a bit ugly to watch at times. For a 36-year-old, he has a lot of upside, and it’d be interesting to see him land in a cavern like Safeco or Petco. As is, he’ll end up setting up for a good team on a two-year deal.

Ok if we don't ink Pods or Thome....
then the DH is rotation between Quentin, Konerko, Kotsay right?
like last year. but we still need another good defensive outfielder hopefully with a good bat, hopefully from the left side. Could a Bobby Jenks Trade help us here? I am trying not to lose sleep over this. Honestly I don’t see the Sox trading that many prospects and Konerko for Adrian Gonzalez, a .270 hitter last year, though the 44 homers are tempting.

the dealbreaker would be the Phil Rogers Trade Metric
If we deal PK, Jenks, and a prospect for Gonzalez, the score is -2. So BAD deal.

Wait, wait, -1 right?
You only count players in the Majors, right? So unless the prospect going with PK and Jenks was Beckham, it’d only be -1.
Still a bad deal as we’re on the negative side, but not quite -2. Give the man some credit.

I am sending this to my wife. She constantly dogs me about (not) stretching:
In fact, the latest science suggests that extremely loose muscles and tendons are generally unnecessary (unless you aspire to join a gymnastics squad), may be undesirable and are, for the most part, unachievable, anyway. "To a large degree, flexibility is genetic," says Dr. Malachy McHugh, the director of research for the Nicholas Institute of Sports Medicine and Athletic Trauma at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York and an expert on flexibility. You’re born stretchy or not. "Some small portion" of each person’s flexibility "is adaptable," McHugh adds, "but it takes a long time and a lot of work to get even that small adaptation. It’s a bit depressing, really."
And Q, like in “Good Will Hunting”, it’s not your fault, son. It’s not your fault.

Compared to what he did for LA,
he was on fire.
"don tink about new jork. jus come in ready to wing de gay."
.782 OPS isn't better than Pods in LF? Or at this point, OK for RF too?
"his ballerness could not be stoped which rose his era to 5.42 "
does his defense rate OK on the corners?

doesn't have to in LF. Think Luzinski, Kittle...
"his ballerness could not be stoped which rose his era to 5.42 "
if he even makes it to the 2nd half.

Maybe he'll only play half a season like last year... the good half!

If you want to be technical about splits
He struggled to hit above the Mendoza line after the month of May.

I didn't get to look at the numbers,
but I thought he was on fire the first half and fell off a cliff the 2nd. How much OF did he play?
"don tink about new jork. jus come in ready to wing de gay."
That surprised me.
Wonder why so few games? Did he get hurt?
I also have to laugh: B-R lists him at 6’1", 170 lbs. 170? Maybe when he was 19 years old…
"don tink about new jork. jus come in ready to wing de gay."
Nice.
Those take a long time to heal. Hopefully about 9 months.

I looked at B-R.
8 games at first. He truly is a cheap JD.
"don tink about new jork. jus come in ready to wing de gay."
148 innings of OF for the Rangers in 09
~16 games. Nothing to get excited about, or even to form an opinion on really.
On the bright side
I don’t have to have any more nightmares of Coco Crisp in a Sox uniform… knock on wood.

Who's left?
I only count A-Rod and Torii.

i havent been on in so long that i dont even know if he posts anymore

I think he put the Jones deal together for Kenny.
You remember how much he hated spending Jerry’s money?

Your vacation was about as long as his has been, I believe.
"don tink about new jork. jus come in ready to wing de gay."
its much easier for me to keep up with this site during the offseason
12/12/07- We'll miss you Andy Gonzalez
You'll have to explain that to him.
"his ballerness could not be stoped which rose his era to 5.42 "
he's probably gonna have to DH a lot
good deal though, IMO

There aren't many bad deals at 500K..
At least not for a team with our payroll.
