Covelli Loyce "Coco" Crisp (born November 1, 1979) is a Major League Baseball center fielder for the Boston Red Sox. He attended Los Angeles Pierce College and has a career batting average of .282 as of the end of the 2006 MLB season.
Crisp was originally drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in 1999. On August 7, 2002, while playing at AA-level New Haven, Crisp was traded to Cleveland to complete an earlier trade for pitcher Chuck Finley.
Crisp came up in center field, but moved to left field for the Indians in 2005 following the emergence in center field of another young outfielder, Grady Sizemore. In his final two seasons with the Indians, Crisp showcased his offensive talent by batting .297 and .300, respectively, with 31 total home runs. In 2005 he was fifth in the American league with 42 doubles, and led the league in sacrifice hits with 13.
In addition, Crisp showed decent base-stealing ability, with 54 thefts in 415 games through the 2005 season, while being caught stealing 29 times.
Crisp was traded to the Boston Red Sox in January of 2006. The Red Sox sent prospect third baseman Andy Marte, pitcher Guillermo Mota, catcher Kelly Shoppach, a player to be named later, and cash considerations. The Indians sent Crisp along with pitcher David Riske and catcher Josh Bard. Crisp was expected to fall into the role of former Red Sox outfielder Johnny Damon, playing center field and batting leadoff.
After a promising start to his Red Sox career, which included signing a 3-year contract extension worth $15.5 million with the Red Sox, Crisp broke his left index finger attempting to steal 3rd base and spent many weeks on the disabled list. After returning to the Red Sox outfield on May 28th, Kevin Youkilis had taken over the leadoff spot, and Crisp usually batted 7th or 8th in the line-up for the rest of the year. In 105 games, he had a .264 batting average with 8 home runs and 36 RBIs.
