Comments on: Long On Giambi http://waswatching.com/2008/02/26/long-on-giambi/ Laconic Commentary From A Yankeeland Zealot Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:50:57 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: williamnyy http://waswatching.com/2008/02/26/long-on-giambi/comment-page-1/#comment-28109 williamnyy Wed, 27 Feb 2008 10:14:22 +0000 http://wp.waswatching.com/?p=4417#comment-28109 Two years ago, Giambi was 37/113, coming off 2005 when he was 32/87. While injuries are certainly a concern, IF he stays healthy (which is the real BEST case scenario), Giambi has a great chance to easily surpass 21/71. Claiming such a low mark is his ceiling is hyperbole at best (or maybe just provocative nonsense). Even if Giambi fails to meet those barriers, it doesn't make the statement any more credible because players do not often reach their best case. Saying Giambi will hover around 15/60, for example, is reasonable; suggesting he can't do any better than 21/71 is silly.

Is this an either/or situation? This is going to make me root for him all the more, Steve.
