Sox trade Crisp for a bag of balls, er, a middle reliever. The online poll at that link suggests I am in the minority on the wisdom of the trade.
I like Crisp as a player. He brought speed and outfield defense to the Red Sox at a time they had little of either. Now they have Jacoby, Bay, and Drew for the outfield, all “plus” outfielders defensively, each with decent speed and Jacoby with exceptional speed. I also like Crisp as a person; he just always struck me as thoughtful and articulate. He also is still one of the leading sources of traffic for this website.
