My problem with Giambi......he was found guilty of cheating and continually denied it. At the time, things couldn't be "fixed" until the truth be told.
I would have no problems with Giambi today, if, when found guilty, he just admitted it. I totally believe in second chances but not so much with liars and repeat offenders. (Same with Manny Ramirez when he became a repeat offender).
As far as Giambi is concerned, I'm just looking to put the best team on the field for the playoffs. Everyone is excited that Giambi walked off with the win last night. Hell! I was also. I couldn't wait to get home to see the call. Pinch hit homers that result in walkoffs are rare. Versatility and speed are not. In my opinion, Ramirez can contribute more to the team in multiple ways, especially when we go back to a 25 man roster.
I don't want to make a big deal here. Ramirez will not make the post season roster. I know that. The remarks were my opinions only. I just believe that Ramirez can contribute in more ways. I don't like the idea of going to Tampa under a one and out situation especially in a close ballgame which I expect it to be. I'd rather see speed than power under that situation.
