Of course, Cust should have been in the bigs 3000 minor league ABs earlier - who gets 5400 minor league at-bats and then has a big-league 120 OPS+ in 2500 ABs?  Jack Cust, I guess.  Leading the bigs in Ks 3 years running is the reason, of course.  Nobody believed he could still hit in the bigs after striking out so much in the minors.  That particular part of Cust's game is not Vogelbach's MO.  

Cust struck out 26% of the time in the minors,, which is danger-zone stuff.  Vogelbach is under 17%.  At least Dan won't be stuck in the minors until his late 20s. :)  Definitely fewer strikeouts, and we'll see about the power.  I think Vogelbach is stronger than Cust - he just doesn't swing from his shoe-tops like Jack did.  He should have more power as he matures.
