Giambi’s Impact
Posted by Steve L. on June 9th, 2005 · Comments (2)
I was looking at Giambi’s game logs this AM and noticed this:
When Giambi plays, the Yankees are 23-22.
When Giambi doesn’t play, the Yankees are 6-8.
When Giambi plays and gets a hit, the Yankees are 13-12.
When Giambi plays and goes hitless, the Yankees are 10-10.
Based on these splits, it appears that Jason Giambi has not helped or hurt the Yankees this season – so far.







I believe that is the case for many a player. IIRC, the M’s had the same record with Griffey that they had without him back in 1995 (he missed a couple of months with a wrist injury)
Thanks – that made me decide to look at another case: http://www.waswatching.com/archives/2005/06/bernies_impact.html
