Just wondering what will happen to Coco in 2008... Ellsbury will be in
the starting lineup for sure....
Its a dilemma.....He's a great outfielder who did not show up at the
plate...

I keep him for the short money he's making. If you look at the time
missed with Manny and Drew and obvious platoons for all 3, I can't see
a better 4th OF/defensive replacement/pinch runner option and he could
realistically grab 300-400 AB's anyway. I'd say unless he creates a
distaction over role it's a no brainer.

Coco is as good as gone. It's just a matter of where and when he goes.

Agreed. Gnork, what do you think they'll try to trade him for?
Pitching? Prospects?
