M. Izturis .293 BAVG .357 OBP .434 SLG .791 OPS

Young .284 BAVG .319 OBP .441 SLG .760 OPS

Boesch .247 BAVG .300 OBP .390 SLG .690 OPS

I am still trying to find a positive in acquiring Crisp. If DET gets M. Izturis, there is the leadoff hitter. Certainly better than Crisp, who has a career .317 OBP as a leadoff hitter.


MLB POS AVG over last 3 years

2B = .727 OPS
3B = .735 OPS
LF = .759 OPS
CF = .738 OPS
RF = .786 OPS

Crisp would be below average offensively. He wants to play CF. He probably would not like a platoon in LF with Young, or being a late inning defensive replacement.

If they can land Izturis there is no need for a guy like Crisp

id far prefer izturis. i probably wouldnt be super upset if we got crisp, but i dont see the point in getting him either. plus i think we wont b/c of his preference to play CF.

It's good to try and improve the bench but if they want Crisp as a reg in the OF, well, I would think they could do much better.
