you would need to deal a few of your guys for Albert, start with a few you dont need.

so, is Jack Cust for real? would anyone give up Chris B Young for him?

Cust will not be worth having (at least in a mixed league) when Piazza gets back. Piazza will be the primary DH, with Stewart / Kotsay / Swisher in the OF and Johnson at 1B. As much as Cust K's, inconsistent playing time will make it really hard for him to get on any kind of a roll. Also, Cust's current BABIP is around .350; it will come down (his K:BB ratio has been declining rapidly as well). I'd rather have Chris B. Young than Cust.

This is mostly true regardless, but today on SC, Olney said that the A's will be looking to move Johnson and/or Piazza come the end of July, because of the excess at 1B/OF/DH.
