Here's an update from a quirky but cool feature in the Salt Lake City fishwrap:

Mike Just

So who is this guy who was traded for five players?

Undrafted out of Liberty University in Virginia last June, Just signed with the River City Rascals, a Frontier League team located 35 miles west of St. Louis. He played well, attracting the attention of Jeff Bittiger, a family friend who's a coach and player personnel director of the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks of the Northern League.
Bittiger is also an Oakland Athletics scout, and promised Just that if he came to Fargo-Moorhead and produced all season, he could get him a contract with the A's organization. Toby Rumfield, the Rascals' new manager, encouraged Just to go, saying he would negotiate a trade. "I'm going to get as many guys as I can," Rumfield told him, "because you're my best guy."
In sending Just from River City to a town on the North Dakota-Minnesota border where the Red River is rising at this time of year, Rumfield received four players, plus the promise of another to come. Typical of independent baseball, Fargo-Moorhead had acquired two of them the same day, either for "future considerations" or to complete a previous deal.
Let's just say the "player to be named" had better be good, for River City's sake. Just, whose double-play partner is former SLCC shortstop Kory Wayment, is batting .338 for the Redhawks. Of the original four players he was traded for, only outfielder Trey Hendricks is still with River City, and he's hitting .213.
