Crisp back on playing field

bostonherald.com - He couldn’t help himself.

After ripping a single past the shortstop in a Double-A game, Red Sox center fielder Coco Crisp gave way to his instincts.

Crisp attempted to steal second but was thrown out easily. Yet Crisp, who saw game action yesterday for the first time since suffering a groin injury early in the spring schedule, was optimistic heading into his next appearance, today in another minors showcase.
