Guest Anglesault Report post Posted April 19, 2004 lets not forget, when the Yankees aquired Giambi, he was probably in the Top 3 in the league overall, if not that, then definately Top 5.....and it took his ass 2 full years to start putting up numbers like he did in Oakland. Thank you for your tireless commitment to putting me in a bad mood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2004 Giambi's decline has more to do with age than anything. In 2002, his first year with the Yankees, Giambi finished 3rd in the AL in OPS. Third in OBP, fourth in slugging. Contrary to popular opinion, Giambi was quite good last year, his power struggled, but he finished 7th in OPS, 3rd in OBP, first in walks, and first in HBP.

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted April 20, 2004 Oh, Giambi's biggest asset to the team is his on base percentage right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2004 Is that criticism? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted April 20, 2004 No. He's on base fairly consistantly so far this year, and if the team didn't suck, it might mean something for us. But that's not Jason's fault. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
