Player Notes
January 7, 2010
The Oakland A's have re-signed designated hitter Jack Cust, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Our View:It is a one-year deal worth only $2.5 million. While Cust is a famously all-or-nothing player (home run or strikeout), he has to be disappointed with how little money he is getting. The A's, meanwhile, have to be ecstatic. Despite his .239 career average, the A's are getting a routine 25 homer, 100-walk threat for next to nothing. He will remain a fringe fantasy option in average-sized mixed leagues next summer, but a great one in AL-only formats.

The Athletics are reportedly still interested in re-signing Jack Cust, according to Comcast Sportsnet Bay Area.

Our View:Oakland is yet to make an offer to Cust though, who made $2.8MM last season. His low batting average leaves a bit to be desired, but he provides power, as he launched 25 homers in 2009.
