With Coco Crisp’s return, here’s why it makes sense to keep Craig Gentry over Billy Burns in A’s outfield for time being

The return of Coco Crisp to the A’s is upon us.

Crisp has been cleared medically to join the club after just two injury rehabilitation games with Class-A Stockton, the last vestiges of his the elbow surgery that cost him the first 28 games of the season apparently nothing more than a memory.

From his Minneapolis-bound plane, Crisp used Instagram and Twitter to let the world know he was heading East, saying “I had a blast in Stockton with all young prospects now it’s time to get back wit the big boys.’’

He added some hashtags to that, including #cantwait, #backndashow, #minnesotabound and #needashave.
