The Astros have agreed to sign Jack Cust, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports tweets.
It's a one-year deal with a club option for 2013, Zachary Levine of the
Houston Chronicle tweets. TWC Sports represents the corner outfielder/DH.
Cust, 33, averaged 28 homers and 103 walks with the A's from 2007-09, but his
power numbers have since fallen off. If he regains his form in Houston, he
could DH for the Astros in 2013, when the team moves to the American League
West. Cust, who has a career UZR/150 of -22.4 as an outfielder, figures to
pinch hit and play left and right in 2012.
Cust posted a .213/.344/.329 line with three home runs in 270 plate
appearances for the Mariners in 2011, when he earned $2.5MM. The Mariners
released him in August and the Phillies signed him soon afterwards. There was
no reported interest in Cust earlier in the offseason.
