Athletics re-sign Cust
The Oakland Athletics have re-signed outfielder Jack Cust to a one-year contract worth $2.75 million.
Cust has been a quality addition to the Athletics ever since he was released by the Baltimore Orioles.
While his batting average and strikeout rates are alarming, he fits in perfect with Oakland’s moneyball philosophy.
He has an outstanding batting eye and walks a lot, and he also has plenty of pop in his bat.
The team desperately need a big bopper in the middle of their lineup after trading away Matt Holliday during the middle of last season.
