Coco Crisp Back in AL Central After BoSox Ship Him to KC Royals

Former Indians outfielder Coco Crisp has been dealt by the Boston Red Sox today to the Kansas City Royals. The Royals, who are normally an also ran in the AL Central, shipped relief pitcher Ramon Ramirez to the BoSox in exchange for the veteran.

Crisp hit a solid .283 for Boston last year and stole 20 bases in 118 games. Ramirez pitched in 71 games for the Royals last year compiling a 2.64 ERA allowing only 57 hits in 71 innings. Crisp is probably glad that he didn't get shopped to the Seattle Mariners where he has had his problems with the Mariner Moose who used him as target practice a couple years back.
