I'm not sure if I agree with you guys, I think Giambi will be dirt cheap next year. I am looking to nab him as a value pick if he drops far enough, the upside outweighs the uncertainty and riskiness involved with taking him.

You have a source?? 8-o

He won't be cheap as you believe -- because he's a Yankee and a loaded lineup.

He's hit under .250 over the past 2 seasons with increased K-rate.

I'll let someone else overpay.

I agree. I'll take him late but someone will pay much earlier for the name. :-?

O.K. I didn't know if there was any other reason why you thought that way. ;-D

Well the thing that got me and my brother talking (and this may sound a little stupid) is that Giambi is not shaving regularly. :-D

i wouldnt take him

the declinig BA, the getting left off the playoff roster, the disease. i think hes just a timebomb waiting to kill your roster

I'm sure the Yankees would look into trading him.....if anyone were interested in taking on his salary. I don't see it happening. :-[

I;d take him in the 8th or so. There are PLENTY of options at 1st and unless you really have a hunch I'd go with a safer bet.
