Snap, Crackle, Drop?

Doc Gram is growing very impatient with his favorite player named after a breakfast cereal. Coco Crisp seems to have lost his Pop. With another 0 for 5 last night, Coco looks absolutely soggy in milk. He was touted as a cheap source of 20/20 potential by a couple of the fantasy expert sources, with 15/15 a more likely bet. Not only has he failed to hit the weight of the average 6th grade girl, he's looked nearly clueless at bat and reached base at a pathetic .171 OBP. Waving helplessly at terrible pitches, sending juicy fastballs bouncing to short; it's not pretty. Boston fans are beginning to clamor for Willy Mo Pena. Unless Coco can put together a couple multi-hit games soon, he may be riding the pine and fantasy managers may be searching for other options. His doppelganger seems to be youngster Chris Young of the Diamondbacks, but he's also off to a slow start and has a minor groin strain. Alex Rios is probably held in most leagues, but may be underrated by his owner and acquirable on the cheap. Doc Gram thinks at least two of these three guys will accomplish his 15/15 mission this year. As for Crisp, hold on to him on your bench for at least few more days. Remember that we're barely two weeks in. And that Willy strikes out about twice Mo' often as Coco.
