giambi's fault

The Yankees are out shopping for a defensive first baseman.  The combination of a strong offense, a shaky pitching staff, and the lack of Tino Martinez finally became apparent to team management.  This also makes me think Giambi will have plenty of 6-inning games this year, not to mention days off.

I don't think Giambi will win out over Bernie Williams as designated hitter.  What we saw a few games ago with Bernie playing right field and Gary Sheffield as the DH seemed like a winning combination for the short-term.  Then Gary can return to the outfield and Bernie can continue hitting well.

Jason could surprise us all in the end.  This is the year he could decide to become a professional player.
