Jack Cust...

Is the new Mariner's DH. I am very pleased with this signing as Cust has been added for 2.5 mil with an extra $150,000 available in incentives. According to Cust, Zdurencik plans to have him in lineups against both righties and lefties. Career wise, he's twice as likely to homer off righties versus lefties, but his on base is respectable against lefties (.350). He's about half the cost of Matsui with the same amount of power production and about 1 million more than Branyan without the back issues. He strikeouts out a lot, but also reaches base a lot as well. Very Good Move!
