Athletics acquired outfielder-designated hitter Jack Cust from the Padres for a player to be named or cash consideration.
Cust should take Mike Piazza's roster spot in time for Friday's game. If Nick Swisher can't DH this weekend, Cust would be the better choice than Chris Snelling to start there against right-handers. Of course, the A's will probably need both with Travis Buck (wrist) also likely to be sidelined. If Buck avoids the DL and Milton Bradley returns next week as anticipated, perhaps neither Cust nor Snelling will be worth using in AL-only leagues.
He put up good productive numbers in AAA and should play over Snelling at DH. Cust isn't much of a fielder.

AAA OF Charles Thomas was traded to Milwaukee for AAA C J.D. Closser. The season in saved! :laugh:
Re: 2007 Regular Season Thread
I was actually excited when we got Thomas as the year before he had a pretty good season in Atlanta.
Re: 2007 Regular Season Thread
Bradley may be back soon...he has a wrist issue, but it's not as bad as they thought. He won't need surgery. Don't worry, I'm sure he'll get hurt within a week anyway :(
Re: 2007 Regular Season Thread
After the ALCS I had high hopes for Bradley. :(
Re: 2007 Regular Season Thread
A's sign Swisher to a 5-year extension
Quote:
OAKLAND -- The Oakland Athletics announced today the club has agreed to terms with outfielder Nick Swisher on a five-year contract through the 2011 season with a one-year club option for 2012.
Let's see if Street follows Swisher...
Re: 2007 Regular Season Thread
Bradley was reinstated from the DL...Putnam sent to AAA.
Re: 2007 Regular Season Thread
Nice job locking up Swisher and Milton had better stay healthy.
Re: 2007 Regular Season Thread
The A's also signed the land contracts in Fremont today. :clap:
Re: 2007 Regular Season Thread

No man actually I'm going to open a home loan LLC with a couple buddies. I was able to take the exam without any experience because I have my BA. If and when you buy property I can certainly help you especially on the loan end (because THAT'S where a lot of people get screwed). I got screwed by a loan broker. I'm sure the laws where you live aren't that much different.
My boy Milton is back in the lineup tonight. :D :clap:
