05/03: Just Noticed This About Giambi
He's had 26 PA against lefties this year and hasn't gotten a hit yet. Yep, he's worked 5 walks and gotten hit 3 times...but no hits. That works out to a lovely line of 000/.296/.000/.296...AWESOME.
For anyone interested, he's hitting
.214/.333/.536/.869 versus righties...and that's with a .152 BABIP (which is astounding) so maybe there's a hot streak coming down the pipleline at some point? The Yankees could sorely use it. Still, you gotta wonder, since you know his option isn't getting picked up, how long of a leash does Giambi get? You figure that the brass will eventually figure that they can do something more productive with his roster spot. Hmm...as the Yankee world turns...

Even with a .220-.230 average he probably would be getting on base enough for the guys hitting behind him to produce some runs though, so I would lean towards keeping him in the lineup for now.
