Somebody please wake up Giambi.

Posted by Frugolf

Somebody should have a sit down with Jason Giambi. They should tell him that without the juice he is no longer a power hitter. He's not alone, home-runs are down 40% in the last 2 years. Obviously he wasn't the only one juicing up. But he should have an advantage over others because the other team wants him to hit singles. They give him the entire left side of the infield. He could average .350 by bunting the ball down the 3rd baseline. You would think a professional baseball player would be able to hit a grounder down 3rd without a heck of lot of practice. He could become [dare I say it] a team player. I could give him 16 million reasons why he should at least try to help the Yankees win. But he has this learning disability called EGO that won't let him. Too bad, but at least we only have to watch his futility for one more season.

Maybe he just sucks. Did you consider that?


(I mean beyond the fundamental sucking that one incurs upon putting on pinstripes that is... Yankees Suck)

It's not me, it's Occulm's Razor. The most simple, obvious answer is usually the correct one.

He's a fraud, plain and simple. His salary is due to the juice. His AL MVP years back was due to the juice. He's a slugger who never looks for the base hit and he strikes out a ton. I've been done with Jason Giambi for a long time, It's about time others jumped off the ship too.

OK, maybe it's not THAT much... or THAT plain and simple. "Juice" doesn't make you a better batter or more patient at the plate. But he has gotten older (quicker) while pitchers have figured him out more. Opposing managers play him to pull and it is VERY effective when the pitchers pitch him in as well. He has a mean, loopy uppercut and he's always been worthless in the field.

Steinbrenner signed him purely out of ego need - he wanted to collect former MVPs - not with a microgram of baseball sense. The Yankees were a poor fit from the begining - he thrives off of NOT being in the spotlight, although Yankee Stadium as a park was suited to him - and the contract was horrendous. They got exactly what they deserved!

Remember, the Yankees also signed Sheffield instead of Vlad Guerrero... Man, those were the days!

DRE-LO is right Giambi would be nothing without the juice. He is one of many players who have won MVP trophies stained with steroids.
