The A's agreed to terms with outfielder Coco Crisp on a one-year contract for the 2010 season with a club option for 2011, the club announced Wednesday.

Earlier reports had Crisp getting $4.5 million for the first year, not including other incentives.

Crisp's addition means the A's could potentially be looking at an outfield of Rajai Davis, Ryan Sweeney and Crisp, which would represent one of the better defensive outfields in the major leagues.

Crisp batted .228 with 29 walks and 13 stolen bases in 49 games with Kansas City last year in a season that ended in mid-June due to injuries. He was tied for the Major League lead with five triples and tied for seventh in the American League in stolen bases when he was placed on the 15-day disabled list June 14 with a right rotator cuff strain.

The 30-year old switch-hitter had surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder June 24 and also had surgery on his left shoulder in July.

Crisp made his big league debut with Cleveland in 2002 and is a .277 career hitter in eight seasons with the Indians (2002-05), Red Sox (2006-08) and Royals (2009).

Crisp had his best season in 2005 with Cleveland when he posted career highs in nearly every category including batting (.300), doubles (42) and home runs (16). He stole a career high 28 bases with Boston in 2007 to help the Red Sox to the World Championship.

overpaying an injured player for 1 year and 4.5mill sounds better than overpaying for a healthy zito and rowand doesn't it?only a giants fan would chime in [Roll Eyes]

I'm an A's fan and I think it's a bad move and a waste of money.
There has to be another way to go IMO
