May 21
In his last 11 games, covering 42 PA, Jason Giambi has the following BA/OBP/SLG line:

Basically, since the Yankees off-day of May 5th, he’s been a force.
I’m guessing that he had a really good Cinco de Mayo.

“Who Would Have Thought It?”. I did.
For the season, Giambi is 2nd in OBP for Yankees,
just behind Matsui. He is 3rd in OPS behind Arod and virtually tied with Matsui. He leads the team in HRs and if you calculate RBI/AB and (R + RBI)/AB he also leads the team. He is a great Moneyball player.
