Crisp will work out fine for Boston. He will see good pitches because opposing pitchers will be much more willing to have him swing the bat than Manny, Ortiz, or Varitek. Crisp is 26 and his numbers could go up. Having watched Coco play the past couple of years here in Cleveland, i think the fans in boston will warm up to him as long as they don't expect much of his throwing arm. He plays well defensively just doesn't have strong throws. Cleveland on the other hand seems to be throwing in the towel for 2006. Having made no improvements this year they are doomed for mediocrity this season. As usual....wait 'til next year!!!!
