Coco Crisp's agent Steve Comte told Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle that his client would be a good fit for the Giants. "Covelli has made it clear that he would like to play for a team that is determined to compete, and he'd also like to stay on the West Coast," said Comte. "I think the Giants would be a viable option for him and vice versa." Can't say we disagree, as the Giants are in need of a center fielder and leadoff hitter. It's unlikely he'll return to Oakland, as GM Billy Beane is limited due to uncertainty over the team's stadium situation. Crisp, 33, batted .264/.314/.379 with eight homers, 54 RBI, 49 stolen bases and a .693 OPS this season.
