Manny becomes a Yankee next year?

[Pavelb1]

I say bfd. Go ahead...what's another 37 year old DH for them? He's a marginal upgrade over Giambi (right now)....I don't think Posada is going to play catcher anymore (IMO)...where's *He* going to play? 1rst? They just going to sit Giambi on the bench? If not where's Matsui, Damon, Nady and Abreu playing?

Please NY sign him. Tie up the money so they can't get guys like Sheets, Sabathia, or any other pitcher. Ian Kennedy FTW!!!

Giambi's contract is up after this year. He's gone! Matsui....time will tell but he may be more DH than not. Damon, Nady and Abreu will be back. Posada may go to 1st part time....it depends on his arm following surgery. I don't see the Yanks pursuing this one.

I know in 2004 and 2006, Giambi horrible, but he's been very good this year....you guys just gonna let him go? I wouldn't have any problem with my Sox picking him up for two years at 11 million each as insurance for Papi.

Na I'm all set with him. Besides, Lars Anderson should be ready to help the club by mid '09

It's either pay his $5 million buyout and let him go, and possibly try to resign him at a reduced price...or pay him his $22 million option for next season...

Insurance for a DH?? That's a first.

So, Sox fans complain about the Yankees spending, but you want the Sox to drop $11 mil a year on a part time, backup DH??? That's ridiculous!

I agree, though, that Giambi is not a bad pickup for a team that needs a stick and has a DH opening.

Then let him be 4rth outfielder/backup DH. Crisp makes about that much and he can't even sniff Giambi's golden thong as far as production goes.

He really seems to be enjoying LA and he is a California type player. I don't think he will be a Yankee.

Jason Giambi as a fourth outfielder.....

That'd provide for some great entertainment at least

Billy Beane would stick him back in RF in a second....and if Manny can play left, then Giambi can....

lol

lol

Don't forget, Red Sox let Wily Mo Pena play some CF in Fenway a few years back....now THAT was entertaining...well, not really. It was a nightmare actually.
