FORT MYERS, Fla. — Coco Crisp, who lost his center field job to rookie Jacoby Ellsbury in the postseason, said today he’d probably talk to the Boston Red Sox about trading him if it appears he won’t get his starting job back.

‘‘Honestly, I think so because I want to play,’’ Crisp said before his spring training workout. ‘‘I wouldn’t be happy sitting on the bench.’’

He’s not even certain he’ll get an equal chance in the competition for the job. Manager Terry Francona said today it would be.

‘‘I’m not sure,’’ Crisp said calmly when asked if the battle for the job with the prized prospect will be fair. ‘‘I’m not sure how everything’s going to break down. I’m really unsure of a lot of things this year.’’

Crisp, 28, started 145 games last year and played outstanding defense. But he batted only .268 in his second season with Boston

I think Crisp isnt worth it. I give all my respects for him and those wicked catches and defensive plays he made. When I think of Coco, i think of the rob he made off of David and also the time he made the runs overlap the Yankees the first game of the series they had against them. Unfortanetly,time to let him go. The Sox found someone better and if during the season Ellsbury turns out to be a flaw, then they can only say it was their loss.

Yea no big lost he's great defensively and at bunting in tight situations but thats about it. He can't really hit at all the years he has been in Boston.

Coco Crisp.... He's a good Center Fielder but Ellsbury is doing a better job. But as a Boston Fan I will miss him if he goes....
