I wouldn't draft Cust on any team. I've said repeatedly on this site I like Gomez for steals. http://razzball.com/kelly-johnson-loses-playing-time/ http://razzball.com/drops-adds-and-holds-2/ http://razzball.com/drops-adds-and-holds/ I've been watching him for two weeks. If he bats .240 over 500 at-bats, you're sacrificing a lot for those 50 steals. But you're right, he does have a place on certain teams, you just need to know what you're doing, because on the wrong team, he can kill you. Right now he reminds me of Alex Sanchez. I'm watching him, because cheap steals are a wonderful thing. Everyone had Granderson much higher than me b/c of the Ks. I wouldn’t draft Cust on any team.

No one is looking for Gomez to be a top 3 OF (in a 5 OF league) but as far as 4th or 5th OF's go, he's an exciting option. If he gets on base 150 times, he's almost a lock for 50 steals. Plus, he's a career .278 minor league hitter who's 22 years old playing in the majors. I'm looking at the stuff that's there to stay: his SB %, the lineup he's leading off for. He strikes out a lot. You know who else strikes out a lot? Curtis Granderson. he’s stolen a base 37% of the time he’s reached base and scored a run 43% of the time he’s reached base. i’d much rather have Carlos gomez hitting .240, stealing bases, and scoring runs than Jack Cust hitting .114 with his 1 HR.

What you're saying about him not getting on base enough doesn't jive with reality. He beat out two double plays last night, stuff that doesn't show up in the stat sheet. Hitting where he is, he is a money 5th OF in a roto league. Grey-

Yeah, dropping Eveland for Victorino is a great move. I'm still keen-o on Shane Victorino. I kinda love your whole outfield, you’ve been paying attention, huh?

Eveland to pick him up with no. 3 waiver slot....i'm kinda already set in OF w/ Sizemore, Rios and J. Hamilton and M. Bradley alternating with Thome and Kotchman in Utility spot. However, I know how much you love the guy and I guess it would be nice to have the SB's when Bradley inevitably goes on the DL....you standing by your man the Flying Hawaiian (I couldn't find the trademark sign, sorry)? Grey,
