He's coming off a September in which he hit .243 with four home runs. He's an arbitration-eligible player this winter, and according to The Sports Xchange, the A's might non-tender him.

Our View: Cust now has at least 25 bombs in each of the past three seasons. The problem is, the free-agent-to-be also has an average below .250 in that span to go along with over 500 strikeouts. Not necessarily a recipe for a huge deal. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jack_Cust/560543 560543 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 1:24:01 EDT fanball.com 50 days 14 hours 37 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jack_Cust/560543 News: From The Sports Xchange notes: Jack Cust is one of Oakland's arbitration-eligible players this winter, and there is a chance the team will non-tender him. He will be making well over $3 million, and the team has several up-and-coming outfielder/DH types, including Chris C. Carter and potentially Brett Wallace. Cust is aware that his future might not lie in Oakland. "Maybe, I don't know," Cust told the San Francisco Chronicle. "It's looking more like it. ... I hope I'm back, but it's not my decision and I know they have some things to think about, if they want to spend that money on me or someone else. There are a lot of guys I'm sure they want to look at. They've shown they want to go young." The A's have other DH possibilities even if top prospects Carter and Wallace don't make the club. Landon Powell, the backup catcher, is a good enough hitter he could handle the position on occasion -- and if Eric Chavez can't return to third after his second back surgery, he might have to move to DH.

He has two homers during that time frame, which owners should recognize as his greatest asset at all times. Leave Cust in your lineup until he begins to fizzle out. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jack_Cust/550186 550186 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 2:28:15 EDT mlb.com 55 days 13 hours 33 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jack_Cust/550186 Jack Cust went 3-for-6 with a homer and four RBI in the A's 15-10 rout of the Angels on Saturday.

Our View: Cust now has 24 homers and 69 RBI on the season. While he's a low average hitter (.243), he still gets on base at a .361 clip. Typical Billy Beane character. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jack_Cust/550136 550136 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 1:28:01 EDT fanball.com 55 days 14 hours 33 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jack_Cust/550136 Jack Cust homered and doubled in the go-ahead run during a six-run eighth inning, Kurt Suzuki and Mark Ellis also went deep, and the Oakland Athletics rallied from a seven-run deficit to beat the Los Angeles Angels 15-10 on Saturday night. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jack_Cust/550110 550110 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 1:08:01 EDT yahoo.com 55 days 14 hours 53 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jack_Cust/550110 News: Oakland OF Jack Cust went 2 for 4 on Thursday in a 12-3 win over the Rangers.
