Shameless, disgusting rosterbation. I'm starting to go blind already.
Anyway, while the article discusses a link between the cubs and a's, a little minimally intriguing tidbit from an anonymous source at the end (so you know it's the truth!): "One NL source said the Giants and Indians could approach the A's about Cust, but haven't just yet. The Orioles could also make a move as well."
So we could be in for the love-child of Adam Dunn and the Michelin Man. Probably not, but just as a thought experiment, how do you feel about this? He's the exact opposite of every player on this team... hits for power, no speed or glove whatsoever (actually. career uzr of -20.4 in the OF, although methinks he might be slightly more bearable if we slotted him at first), walks a shit-ton, strikes out a lot and has an average that puts him in the range of ray charles taking hacks with a wooden chopstick... ok almost the opposite. So how's about giving Shamu a glove and giving it a go?
Btw, pre-sarchasm... this may be the worst idea i've seen for us yet.

So this is what Sabean had in mind all this time..........

John Sickels has an open thread to discuss the Giants farm system. Go there and talk about your favorite prospects.

Nice to see this getting attention, but there are some big facepalm moments ahead.

Sorry, I couldn't think of a worse pun quickly enough.

The big question is: Will Sabean be able to resist signing Richie again? You just can't find that gamerness anywhere, you know.

I can understand the one guy who picks Teixeira over Mauer (RIB EYES!), but really Jon? This is twice you have hurt my feelings.

does this mean we no longer have to see any ridiculous discussion around here of Dallas McPherson actually having a future in the Giants organization?
