It’s a little curious, isn’t it, that in a season where injuries have washed over the A’s more than at any other time in the last four decades, Coco Crisp is the model of health.
Crisp was in and out of the lineup the final two months of the 2014 season with neck and concussion issues, and similar problems, not to mention elbow surgery in spring training, limited him to just 44 games last year.
This year, when the A’s had a peak of 13 players on the disabled list at one time and when Crisp was supposed to be a part-time player, he’s shown nothing but stamina, durability and, oh yeah, some of that old Coco style.
