Coco Crisp is a Red Sox

I loved Damon and will miss him almost as much as my Mom, but Coco Crisp is a great player and is 6 years younger than Johnny D.

BOSTON, MA - The Boston Red Sox have acquired outfielder Coco Crisp, righthander David Riske and catcher Josh Bard from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for righthander Guillermo Mota, third baseman Andy Marte, catcher Kelly Shoppach, cash considerations, and a player to be named or further cash considerations. Executive Vice President/General Manager Theo Epstein made the announcement.
Crisp, 26, tied for fifth in the American League in 2005 with a career-high 42 doubles, while also establishing personal bests with 16 home runs, 86 runs scored, 145 games played, a .345 on-base percentage and .465 slugging percentage. The six-foot, 180-pound switch-hitter had 15 stolen bases in 21 attempts, marking the third consecutive season he has stolen at least 15 bases.
