O's sign Cust to minor league deal (w/ Custer Reprise)

[OFFNY]

Why is anyone even remotely upset with a minor league signing with no camp invite?

At least we haven't gotten a "Print the playoff tickets" post.

That's almost as old as, "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

To pick up his playoff tickets.

I think Jack Cust would be a valuable resource for young players. He's had success at the Major League level with a proven approach. Plus he seems like a cool guy to have a beer with

I truly feel sorry for you.

Please don't miss this train at the station ......

'Cause if you miss it, I feel sorry, sorry for you ......

I honestly thought that he was older than that, but I think I was confusing him with one of the Giambis...both of whom have also merged together in my mind.

There is a reason that Giambis are not to be confused.

That's only for chickens that live on Pratt Street.

You do understand that he is not with the Orioles in spring training to actually play for the major league team at any point don't you? Do you know what the average salary of a minor league contract veteran with no major league camp invite is? I am all for throwing what ever rocks you want at Mr. Angelos. This is not one of those opportunities.

I have read the thread and thanks for also explaining it to me again... The point is

why bother with something like this when we have more pressing needs that have

not been addressed..

Do you figure a whole lot of time was wasted on this?

Why put on your socks when you still need to put on a shirt?

Because this has nothing to do with the 2014 Orioles? I guess I was not clear. These guys need someone to practice with. Jack can practice. Sorry I was not able to make myself clear.

That isn't necessary.

Because you have socks and your shirt is still in the dryer?

No one. No one is supporting the offseason as it stands. Our oldest player is 31 years old. We all hope for more and better players. Signing Meeks and Cust has nothing to do with the Orioles. It might have something to do with one of the minor league teams. Or at least the camp.

Cust is a LH bat we can keep on the Norfolk taxi squad if Henry doesn't hit.

Do you think Duquette has a button on his computer that says "Auto-Fill Minor League Roster"?
