We're not going to speculate on any timetables. The most important thing is getting Coco back healthy, so he can get back to 100 percent.

Coco Crisp is not Johnny Damon.

Coco Crisp is not Johnny Damon. He's his own player. He brings his own strengths.

Coco Crisp is not Johnny Damon -- he is his own player. He brings his own strengths. Johnny was an outstanding, elite leadoff guy and center fielder for us for four years. It's unfair to ask Coco Crisp to fill those shoes. He's going to go and do it his own way.

He loves his [Red Sox] teammates and he really took a liking to the organization. Not every aspect of a situation is going to be to a player's liking, so that would not surprise me. I'm not going to speak for Boomer. We'll certainly be in touch with him. He's a guy we have penciled into our rotation.

Josh Bard is a catcher with excellent defensive tools and someone ... whose best days are ahead of him. He's not coming off his best [offensive] season, but we still think there is some ceiling on him. He has outstanding makeup and calls a good game. [He's] a solid receiver with a plus arm, and he's going to be coming to camp with a chance to open some eyes.
