In his last 204 Plate Appearances of 2007, Jason Giambi produced the following BA/OBP/SLG line:
.192/.333/.389
In his first 104 Plate Appearances of 2008, Jason Giambi has produced the following BA/OBP/SLG line:
.150/.317/.375
How much longer until the Yankees realize that Giambi is a guy who, sure, he gets some walks, but, he can’t bat .200 and he can’t slug .400? One would think that he last 308 big league PA should be a big enough sample size to make that call, no?

Just a tack on…
In 12 games at home this season, in 47 PA, Giambi’s Yankee Stadium SLUGGING PERCENTAGE is .176
one-seventy-six!

Ouch…so if Shelly and Ensberg don’t start hitting too, does that mean Betitmet will see some time at 1B when he comes back up?

Against RHP, it couldn’t hurt to give WB a shot.

Steve–Don’t give up yet on the Giambino! I still think he has something left.

Based on something besides just blind hope?

He hasn’t got a hit against a lefty this year…
Oddly, he’s done well in 41 PA batting 7th, as opposed to 63 batting 5th or 6th. Nothing really stands out in his splits otherwise, but if he can hit in the 7 slot, perhaps it’s something in his approach that he can adjust (or they can just park him there).

[...] at WasWatching is wondering when the Yankees will sever their ties with Jason Giambi, especially since there doesn’t seem to be a marked improvement in the cards for the aging [...]

Would it kill him to put a bunt down the 3rd base line, he has done it a few times in the past, at least he would get on base.
Plus, if he doesn’t get on base, he can’t get hurt (running, or just standing there), and then the Yanks can’t put him on the DL and let someone worth a damn take his at bats
