Over at Metsblog.com, Matt Cerrone takes note that Ed Coleman on WFAN has reported that the New York Mets and Boston Red Sox are discussing a swap of Angel Pagan for Coco Crisp.
Very strange. Is there more to this?
This is all just talk right now, so don't go thinking the Mets have Coco Crisp. Pagan has been playing very well so far in spring training for the Mets, and with recent injuries there's every right to believe he would make the team. Maybe the deal for Crisp would be to take a guy with success as an everyday player. I'm really not sure.
This could mean the Red Sox are entirely set on giving the starting job to Jacob Ellsbury, and maybe they'd like to just take your typical fourth outfielder, which Pagan pretty much is.
I'm split here. Crisp is good, but I think Pagan would provide enough for the Mets filling in for Alou and then being the platoon guy with Ryan Church as the year goes on. And as I type this Pagan just blasted a 2-run homer in spring training action against the Orioles. He now has 10 RBI in the spring. Maybe the Mets should keep him.
