Question from a Red Sox fan

Let's assume the Johan deal gets done...
Ellsbury, Masterson, Lowerie, and maybe another prospect
for
Johan Santana

The Red Sox will have the opportunity to package Coco Crisp with Jon Lester for an upgrade in CF...would Tampa Bay consider something along the lines of Coco/Lester for Carl Crawford?

No, they wouldn't.

Not for Crawford. He is viewed as too important as the face of the franchise right now.

Plus, Crawford is really developing into a complete hitter.

BTW- Crawford in CF does not work. He does not possess that great of an arm. He is perfectly suited for LF.

I was hoping for a stop gap in CF. We've dealt with weak arms in CF before (Damon). And then Crawford could replace Manny in LF.

Fair enough though, that you guys would pass.
