"The Athletics were closing in on a deal Sunday with free-agent outfielder Coco Crisp on a one-year contract with a club option for the 2011 season. A person with knowledge of the negotiations confirmed an impending deal on condition of anonymity because a formal announcement had not been made by the club. That could come soon (CBSSports)."
From what I have been reading it sounds like this deal is basically done. The A's like to focus on pitching and fielding, but this lineup is so bad that they really need to add some power (and talent) to the offense. Crisp is a hell of a defensive player, but he is no better then a 8 or 9 hitter on any team that actually had a shot at making the playoffs.
