How bad is carl crawford?

[bretb27]

I'd rather have rajon rondo batting leadoff.. shit i think dice-k has more hits as a red sock than cc. can any of you think of a bigger bust?

[face]

have they signed long term on him? i know they are giving adrian gonzalez a long contract.

crawford is getting 142 million over 7 years... i'd say we have him for the long run...

[RL75]

They gave Crawford something like 7 yrs for 140 million.

As bad as that is it's better than the Mauer contract.

[bretb27]

only good players can handle the bright lights at fenway.. carl crawford is NOT one of those players.

lol in hindsight yes you're absolutely right, there wasn't a team out there that didn't want mauer power.

[BMaddz]

he'll be fine ma dude a lot of players have a bad first year with their new team i know as a mets fan it happened big time with beltran he had 16hr in his first year and everyone was bashin em he than came back and hit 40hr a yr or 2 later he sucks now though

[starfire]

Can u say Content.

[HoulihansTX]

Ill give him 50% of the season till I judge.

[LLXC]

Give him time to adjust...he'll be fine.

/me trying to trade for Crawford in all Fantasy leagues

[pattymayo]

Ew: 7 for 51, ONE double, 2 stolen bases, 3 runs scored... .137 avg with a .185 OBP.

[TrapperDapper]

It's a team thing there. Pedroia and Lester are the only people playing up to their potential right now. Once the team swings into things I think Crawford will up his game.

[ukbsktbll]

In a bad slump he will turn it around

[pronk]

Give him time to adjust...he'll be fine.

Adjust to what, mlb? Was he playing left wing for Edmonton Oilers

[Pauulzcappin]

[meckis]

Carl Crawford is playing very bad, .137 avg come on...

[pt111]

he'll pick it up. I believe the exposure in Boston is still affecting these players but they will settle and make a nice run..

[jays12]

Hitting a baseball is a fine that takes many qualities you can lose your groove being off by inches, milliseconds, etc

[illfuuptn]

He's just awful. He played for a fake fukn team for his whole life and now his true "suck" has been exposed.

[pronk]

Finally Francona gets it: deadbeat Crawford is out of lineup

[dlunc3]

its been two weeks lol

[Whippit]

this guy's 30 and everybody talks like he's 20 with upside

wake up & smell the roses, this guy's flower has bloomed

[face]

Redsox should not have traded adrian beltre

[pronk]

"Poor" bastard is going blind

[spippen]

crawford is getting 142 million over 7 years... i'd say we have him for the long run...

someone needs to be fired for that move. This guy is stiffs' defined.

[spippen]

this guy's 30 and everybody talks like he's 20 with upside

wake up & smell the roses, this guy's flower has bloomed

and this news is 5 years old on top of it all !

[No coincidences]

this guy's 30 and everybody talks like he's 20 with upside

This.

[unusialsusp5]

he has peaked no doubt...imagine being stuck with that contract...they couldn't trade him even if they paid half his salary...free agency backfired on them and that a gonzalez quite possibly the slowest baserunner in the league for an alleged superstar has been doubled up many times already...

[LordCC]

To me, I am not surprised at all. We see it all the time, a FA signs a massive deal with a new team & struggles big time out of the gate. They press & put alot of pressure on themselves to prove their worth to their new team. I think he will get it together, but really have a sub par year for his standards.

[Whippit]

Carla Crawford is like Cuba Gooding Jr from Jerry McGuire minus the talent

[Rixsaw]

he must really hates being in Boston.

[pronk]

Dummy grounds into a double play!

Would anyone put him out of his misery ?

[jcubs55]

Well, let's see. He has had an outstanding career in the best league in the world against he best players in the world so I'd say "not very"

[bacon22]

He is bad enough to make more money in a game than I make in a year.
