Jeter, A-Rod, Mo to play in All-Star game |
| In the final All-Star game to ever be played in Yankee Stadium, Jeter, A-Rod and Mo have been selected to join the American League roster. This is A-Rod's 12th appearance, Jeter's 9th and Mo's 9th. Giambi still has a shot for the final spot, depending on how the voting goes. Labels: A-Rod, All-star, Giambi, Jeter, Rivera |

Giambi's fate |
| Joel Sherman of the NY Post believes that there is at least a chance that Jason Giambi will be back in pinstripes in 2009. This is the last year of his guaranteed contract, but the Yankees have a $22 million option for 2009. Needless to say, Giambi isn't worth it and the Yanks will not exercise that option. From 2002 to 2007, Giambi hit 177 home runs in 2476 at bats for the Yanks. That breaks down to a home run every 14 at bats...not so shabby. He also walked 543 times. Having a good eye at the plate makes him a double threat as when he comes up with runners on base, he is a threat to bring them all home with one swing of the bat or to walk and further jam the basses with runners. However, in the last 5 years, he has struggled as a pure hitter as his highest season average during that time was .271 and he has finished a season as low as .208. His defense is also nothing to brag about. He is a liability at first base as he has very limited range, average hands and an equally unremarkable arm. He is 37 years old and has already shown signs of aging. He is not worth $22 million. He isn't even worth $12 million. However, Sherman speculates that the Yanks may pay his $5 million buyout and see if they can entice him to stay for another $5 million. It's not unfeasible and it might not be a completely bad idea either. They have to pay the $5 million buyout or they are stuck with his $22 million salary. On top of the $5 million buyout, Giambi might be able to get as much as an additional $10 million elsewhere, but he apparently enjoys playing in New York and has a continued role to play. He could be a back-up first baseman and a DH. If he can continue to put up similar numbers, I can't think of a better pinch hitter in late innings of a close game with runners on base. Does an opposing pitcher pitch to him and risk him clearing the bases, or is he too careful and walk him to add to the problems? I like the idea of the Yanks having that option, and when you consider the fact that his $5 million buyout cost is not really an option, all he may cost is an additional $5 mil. It's worth a second thought. Labels: age, Giambi, Offense, The future |

A-Rod talks still looking good, and maybe Mike owell too |
| ESPN.com is now reporting that A-Rod and the Yanks are getting ever closer to 10-years/$270 million agreement. That may lead some to believe that the Yanks would surely back off their recent aggressive pursuit of Boston's WS MVP, Mike Lowell, since he also plays 3rd base. However, there are reports that the Yanks are still in discussions with Lowell's agents and they are talking about bringing him to the Bronx to play 1st base. Finally, Matsui came out of knee surgery yesterday with no complications or problems and is expected to begin rehab soon and remain on schedule to be ready for the beginning of the 2008 season. For those of you who are paying attention, there is an extra player in there. Abreu's option was picked up so he could play right. Melky will be playing center with Damon backing him up. Damon will also be putting a lot of time in at left field, with Matsui also putting time in left and as DH. If Lowell does get signed to play first, that leaves Jason Giambi to play the occasional first base and be a part-time DH. $21 million is a lot for an occasional first baseman and a part-time DH. Barring a major injury or some unforeseen circumstances, I don't see the Yankees keeping Giambi on past 2008, regardless of Mike Lowell's whereabouts.

Giambi off the hook.... |
| Today Bud Selig announced that Jason Giambi will not suffer any consequences for his (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) theoretical use of performance-enhancing drugs, which has become simply a emphamism for steroids. All this aside, Giambi, just like Bonds, needs to have an asterik next to his name in the record books after he retires. Fair is fair. As for his future with the Yanks, I'd like to see him stick around, but not for his current price. He will be around for 2008 since his current contract is backloaded and he is currently making $23.4 million a year. I love his discipline at the plate and his combination of power and walks, but $23 million is way too much for a designated hitter. Labels: Giambi, Steroids |

Giambi wearing out his welcome |
| I like Jason Giambi. Although he's not much of a defensive first baseman, he can knock the ball out of the park and his good eye means he averages over 100 walks a season. That combination of power and patience translates into over 100 RBIs and over 100 runs each season - a very productive contribution to the offense. However, I think it may be time for him to go. It was only two years ago when Giambi held a press conference and apologized profusely for doing something that he wouldn't specifically admit - steroids. Yesterday it was reported that he failed an amphetamines test sometime within the last 12 months. I like the guy personally and as I said, he contributes his share to this team's offense. However, a cheater is a cheater and whether your last name is Bonds, Canseco, McGwire or Giambi, you need to suffer the consequences. Not to mention the $23 million he is getting paid this year would go a long way in bolstering their middle relief. Labels: Giambi, Offense, Steroids |
