Resurgence of Jason Giambi
Guest Commentary by Marty Monforte
The recent play of Jason Giambi has been a bright spot in a season some Yankee fans were eager to write off. Many people gave up on Giambi, believing his career was essentially over. Experts and fans thought we'd never see him turn into the feared slugger he used to be.
However, his recent power surge has given Yankee fans hope that he may at least be a solid sixth place hitter in a lineup stacked with productivity. He has raised his average over .280 and hit his 11th home run on Thursday night. His daily work with Don Mattingly has paid off; he is driving the ball much better and getting around on pitches much more frequently. Giambi looks like he's hitting his stride at the right time.
