Fan Projection Targets – 12/23/09
They’re not necessarily the sexiest names in town, but Coco Crisp, Brandon League, and Jason Marquis all changed teams in the past week and are all still below the 30-ballot threshold. Click here to cast your projections for the triumvirate.
Crisp suffered shoulder problems last season, and Kansas City declined his 2010 option. Oakland just signed the outfielder to a one-year, $5 million deal.
Kinda Disappointing Fireballer League is heading West in exchange for other Kinda Disappointing Fireballer Brandon Morrow. Has Baseballing Wizard Jack Zduriencik struck again?
Jason Marquis, uh, … has a cool last name? Also, he signed two-year, $15 million deal with the Nationals — which, that’s always a good sign.
Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
Crisp still has to pass a physical (which has been delayed) before his deal with Oakland is done, not a lock since he is less than six months removed from double labrum / rotator cuff surgery. Just something to remember…
