I don't buy that Crisp is as valuable as Bay. But some obvious reasons why they might be closer in value than is perceived: Crisp is a magnificent CFer, a more valuable position than LF. Even though LF is the easiest position on the diamond to play, Bay absolutely sucks at it, and is considered almost an AL-only, Dunn-like DH at this point.
Throw in the fact that he's a slow runner, and Crisp is a skillful speedster on the bases, and the gap in their hitting becomes smaller. Just a guess, though.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
