Theo Talks About Coco

Theo Talks About CocoTheo Epstein spoke with Redsox.com and discussed the Coco Crisp situation. Much of what he said was similar to Tito’s take on the situation. He tried to show Coco’s value to the team by saying:

“We allowed the fewest runs in all of baseball. He was a huge part on a club that won 96 games so he’s got an opportunity to keep his job and go out and make an impact for this club again as an everyday player. It’s premature to speculate about the next step.”

It seems like the team’s plan is to start Coco in center unless he has an awful spring. If he starts out well he could be good trade value before the deadline. Pitcher Ben Sheets will be a free agent next year so he could be traded at the deadline and would be a good fit with Boston if they can get him for a few years.
