12/8: Open Winter Meetings Day 3 Thread

Cust should be relatively inexpensive, he can hit, and isn’t a nutter. I love Milton and I hope he succeeds for us next year but pencilling him in for all the DH at bats next year is just loony.

Milton was always going to be a bench player

You down with OBP, ya you know me..who's down with OBP?

Jack Cust should make this remix.

I had no idea Cust was a 2.4 WAR player last year.

The guy sure knows how to take a walk, shame his power isn’t what it once was though.

Yup, and still a million times better than giving Vlad a multi-year deal to collapse in Safeco

Career year?

Let’s hope he doesn’t lay down a Cust-turd for us.

Francouer --> Royals

Eyes not crazy enough.

Flow charts are the greatest form of humor.

This might of been the most obvious move in the history of the game.

Please Jack Z

I'm hoping for more minor league contracts

A negative article about Miguel Olivo writes itself!

I like how bald he is

Bald starship captains were the best captains.

Shinzon did a pretty shit job though.

It's not his fault, he was in an odd numbered Star Trek movie.

So bald he's good...

Miguel Batista would say so.

Be careful what you wish for!

At least you get to enjoy the beautiful Southern Florida weather though, right?

Yeah, it's balmy

The writers are getting restless and starting to group up

What I wouldn't give for a free lunch.

That would make it no longer free.

It sure wouldn't

Much like the floor, there is no free lunch.

Thus far, that will be the highlight of my meetings

Just keep asking Scott Boras about Ron Villone until he either snaps or gets you kicked out.

You look very happy.

And shorter than Shannon

Shannon, displaying impeccable table manners, makes polite conversaion with her neighbor.

I AM NOT SHORTER THAN SHANNON

Fuckin perspectives

Well, it's better than than the picture of me sitting in the Santa chair

Why is the Mariners table next to the Orioles table?

Welcome, Jack Cust.

I feel we are on the Cust of something big with this move.

I am stopping this right now

Too mild. Maybe if you Cust him out?

Good way to Cust your losses.

I AM STOPPING THIS RIGHT THE FUCK NOW

I FUCKING HATE HOW PUNS MAKE PEOPLE ACT

Act?

Act

You're right

You suck

I think crappy puns are a perfect parallel to Cust

I was allowed just one for buying you a beer anytime we meet up

It's a date!

They had free beer at the luncheon

I didn't realize that was an issue for you

Not usually

Like fun am I flying my ass to the Winter Meetings

I always thought free beers were the best kind of beers

Free and cold

Way to protest against the man!

Sweet Cust-ard that's bad

I'm just excited for Cust's fan section at Safeco.

Yeah its really laharrible

See? Always the right move.

Jack Cust oh my

I will be rooting for Milton Bradley over Jack Cust when the two get into the inevitable switchblade fight in the locker room this year.

I love me some Jack Cust...I wonder if this means we'll be cutting bait with Milton soon?

Or keeping all three in the likely chance that at least two of them suck horrifically.

Trading Saunders in order to pave the way for a 32 year old butcher to get more time in LF?

It's an odd stand-alone move cause Jack can only DH, which is where Milton was supposed to be.

Other than Milton being both awful last year and generally unreliable.

Umm, you know I'm in agreement with you on not moving Saunders and not playing Milton. I'm just curious if this move means something regarding Milton being here next year.

You can't go into the season with all of your DH eggs in the Bradley basket.
