Coco Crisp... no milk, no thanks!

Coco Crisp is allegedly asking for a trade and is telling reporters 3 teams are interested in him, one of which is the Cubs.

Sorry but I don't like Coco Crisp. He had a bright future and then went to Boston and stunk it up. Well not really, but he didn't do as well and his improvement came to a screaching halt.

He'd be a good 7-8 hitter, but not powerful enough for a big hitter, and his OBP really dropped from his CLE days, at least not good enough to be a legit leadoff hitter.

I know I know, your looking at his stats and viola they aren't that bad. Trust me Boston tried him at leadoff and it didn't work.

i don't think he's in any position to be demanding trades

He'd be a good backup plan if Pie doesn't catch up to major league hitting. He's amazing defensively and is decent enough to be a 7-8 hitter in the NL. If we don't give up anything much, I'd like to bring him in.

A Soriano/Fukudome/Pie/Crisp OF is really, really good defensively. Add Murton and we'd have a damn good and deep OF group.

I did this very quickly, and cut a little bit off to get more space. I can do a more precise job if you need it.
