ST updates

As the title of the SF gate article suggest, Cust is now an Oakland A after many years of being "traded." I have to say that Cust is very smart as a baseball player because not only does he acknowledge that he fits perfectly with the A's system, but that he feels he has a bad rap on being a bungler in the outfield. It's important for a ballplayer to have a positive attitude when it comes to their talents like in the case of Kielty rejection of becoming a right handed hitter only.

Hopefully, Cust can improve enough in the outfield to be a DH/Corner OF in the Rondell White mold. Especially since Hatteberg and Durazo are free agents next year.

Finally, I put up a link to the Knight Ridder beatwritters' blog; it's pretty informative when it comes to the whole ST experience.
