There has been a big deal made out of Crisp saying that he would probably ask for a trade if he is not the starting CF for the Red Sox. Why are people so shocked and appalled by this? This is a guy who is one of the better defensive CFs in the league. He can get to more balls than 95% of the outfielders in the MLB. I don't blame him for wanting out if he loses out to Ellsbury. My overall opinion on this matter is yes the Sox should probably trade him, because the fans want Ellsbury, and he is the future. He proved he can play last year, and the Sox should give him a shot (just like they did with Pedroia). Now this is not to say that I don't think Coco is a very good player. I just believe that he needs a change of scenery (like Renteria) to get this hitting career back on track.
Prediction- Coco traded halfway through Spring Training
