Newsbreakers
October 28, 2009
Fanhouse.com is reporting that outfielder Coco Crisp isn't likely to return to Kansas City next season. The team has an $8 million option on Crisp, but they can buy him out for $500,000.
Our View:
The Royals want to avoid wasting money, and Crisp was less than impressive last season with the team. It seems almost inconceivable that they would pay him $8 mil next season, so expect him to find a new home.
June 24, 2009
Coco Crisp underwent successful surgery on his right shoulder to repair a torn labrum, according to the Kansas City Star.
Our View:
Skipper Trey Hillman noted that Crisp's recovery could take 6-12 months, depending on how his body responds. It remains to be seen if the Royals will pick up his $8MM option for next season.
June 23, 2009
Coco Crisp will miss the remainder of the season as he will undergo surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder, according to the Kansas City Star.
Our View:
The usual recovery time for the procedure is 4-6 months. The Royals will have to decide whether or not to pick up his $8MM option for next season. He should be dropped from fantasy rosters.
June 19, 2009
Coco Crisp is reportedly facing season-ending surgery on his ailing right shoulder, according to the Kansas City Star.
Our View:
There is fear that Crisp may be dealing with a torn labrum rather than a strained rotator cuff. Crisp is slated to visit Dr. James Andrews in Alabama for a second opinion on his shoulder Monday.
June 15, 2009
Outfielder Coco Crisp has finally landed on the DL, according to MLB.com. He has been in and out of the lineup with a sore shoulder going back to May 26. The injury primarily affects him when batting from the left side. Tug Hulett will replace him on the roster.
Our View:
Mitch Maier will probably pick up most of the slack while he is out of the lineup, although Willie Bloomquist will see more action as well. Crisp is hitting only .228 on the season with 13 stolen bases and 30 runs scored. He has drawn 29 walks against only 23 strikeouts. A career .277 hitter, we expect better things to come from the 29-year-old this season.
June 13, 2009
There is belief that Coco Crisp could be headed for the DL due to his ailing right shoulder, according to the Kansas City Star.
Our View:
The ailment is irritating him, and Crisp is out of the lineup for tonight's game against the Reds. Mitch Maier replaces him in the outfield.
June 10, 2009
The Kansas City Star reports that Coco Crisp (shoulder) is out of the lineup again on Wednesday. Manager Trey Hillman says the shoulder is still bothering him when he swings left-handed.
Our View:
Crisp was 1-for-3 with a walk and a steal on Tuesday. He will likely be back in the lineup again on Thursday when the Royals face southpaw Jeremy Sowers. Despite a terrible .225 average, he has a semi-respectable .338 OBP to go with 12 stolen bases. He has only been caught stealing twice.
June 9, 2009
Coco Crisp returned to the diamond Tuesday at Cleveland after missing the last two games with a shoulder ailment, according to the Kansas City Star.
Our View:
The club is crossing their fingers that Crisp will be able to remain in the lineup for all three games in the series against his old club. He remains an unstable fantasy option.
June 4, 2009
As expected, the Royals have activated Coco Crisp from the bereavement list, according to the Kansas City Star. Infielder Tug Hulett was optioned to make room for Crisp on the roster.
Our View:
Crisp should get back into the lineup on Thursday, and hopefully he will perform a little bit better than he has so far this season. Crisp is hitting .233 on the year, but at least he still has the best name in baseball.
June 3, 2009
The Kansas City Star reports that Coco Crisp will be activated from the bereavement list on Thursday. He was placed on the list following the death of his great-grandmother.
Our View:
Crisp had been dealing with a sore shoulder prior to leaving the team. We expect him to be healthy by now and he should be in the lineup come Thursday.
June 1, 2009
Coco Crisp has been placed on the bereavement list, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
He will miss the next three games while dealing with the death of his great-grandmother. The Royals are yet to announce a corresponding roster move.
June 1, 2009
Royals manager Trey Hillman is hopeful CF Coco Crisp (sore right shoulder) will be back in the lineup Tuesday night in Tampa according to MLB.com.
Our View:
This is good news for the Royals, but irrelevant for fantasy owners because of Crisp's limited fantasy value this season.
May 30, 2009
Coco Crisp has been restricted from throwing while recovering from a sore right shoulder, according to the Kansas City Star.
Our View:
Skipper Trey Hillman wants to give Crisp's shoulder time to rest and settle. Barring a setback, he should return to the diamond at some point next week.
May 28, 2009
Coco Crisp is hopeful to return to action Friday after leaving Tuesday's game with soreness in his right shoulder, according to the Kansas City Star.
Our View:
His shoulder ailment is believed to be minor, and shouldn't hinder him on the field upon his return. He is only hitting .220 in May however.
May 27, 2009
Coco Crisp was pulled from Tuesday's game in the fifth inning with soreness in his right shoulder, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:
Mitch Maier replaced him in the outfield. The Royals noted that Crisp will be evaluated. Stay tuned for further updates.
April 22, 2009
Coco Crisp was 2-for-4 on Wednesday night in the Royals 2-0 victory over the Indians. Crisp doubled and scored a run to help the Royals to a win.
Our View:
Crisp has struggled as of late after starting the season nicely, but he is a candidate to score a good number of runs if he can get on base. His fantasy value is very limited right now considering his .245 average.
April 9, 2009
Coco Crisp was 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI in Kansas City's 2-1 win over the White Sox on Thursday. He clubbed a two-run home run in the ninth to pave the way for the win.
Our View:
Crisp also drew a pair of walks and raised his average to a robust .364. If he can get on base consistently, Crisp should score a fair amount of runs from the top of a Royals lineup that has a lot of potential.
April 4, 2009
Coco Crisp was 2-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in the Royals 5-4 victory over the Rangers on Saturday.
Our View:
Crisp is having a nice spring as he is hitting at a .395 clip to go with his five stolen bases. He will play as much center field as possible this season, and if he gets 150-plus games in, he could be in line for his best season as a pro while hitting leadoff in Kansas City.
March 7, 2009
Coco Crisp looked comfortable at the top of Kansas City's lineup against Cleveland on Saturday, going 2-for-2 with one walk, two runs and a stolen base.
Our View:
Crisp has gone 8-for-17 and could be a nice sleeper and source of cheap speed with an everyday role in Kansas City after ceding playing time to Jacoby Ellsbury at center field in Boston last year.
March 4, 2009
Coco Crisp hit leadoff and was 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI in the Royals 5-3 loss to Texas. He is currently hitting .400 in spring training.
Our View:
Crisp should play everyday in Kansas City and have plenty of opportunity to run. He should steal his normal 20+ bases with a shot of reaching 30 steals this season with health and the green light.
March 2, 2009
Coco Crisp went 0-for-3 on Sunday while stranding a pair in a 6-4 loss to the Angels.
Our View:
Crisp is still batting .333 this spring, so this was just an off day with him.
