Cust definitely can put up .285, 35 HRs, 100+ walks playing at Camden Yards.
The question is, is he gonna get a chance to play?

I don't see anything in Cust's record that suggests he's capable of putting up Frank Thomas-level batting averages in his prime. Maybe Cust could match Thomas's 2002 performance. I thought the Jim Thome-lite description was accurate.
