November 19, 200817 yr BOSTON -- Outfielder Coco Crisp was traded from the Boston Red Sox to the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday for reliever Ramon Ramirez. Royals general manager Dayton Moore called the switch-hitting Crisp a "championship-caliber player" who will help Kansas City move forward. Crisp is a career .280 batter in seven seasons with the Cleveland and the Red Sox. The 29-year-old started 98 games for the Red Sox last season while sharing the center field job with rookie Jacoby Ellsbury. He stole 20 bases in 27 attempts, marking the third season in a row he's reached the 20-steal mark. The trade frees up some money for Boston. Crisp is owed $5.75 million next season, with an $8 million club option for 2010 or a $500,000 buyout. Ramirez is a 27-year-old right-hander who had a 2.64 ERA in 71 2/3 innings last season. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3712531

November 19, 200817 yr KC are adding decent players to their line up, they could have a interesting 09 season. They've improved in each of the last 4 years. Win % 2005: .346 2006: .383 2007: .426 2008: .463 I wouldn't be shocked if they get up to .500 this year. It's certainly a possibility.
