BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2014-05-29 19:30:00 (link to chat)	Jason Giambi just hit a HR for Cleveland. Which active player will be the oldest when he eventually retires? (MN Joe from Brooklyn, NY)	Whoever was born first probably (Ben Carsley)
2014-04-29 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Totally random question, and feel free to offer a completely opinionated, unsubstantiated answer: do you think Barry Bonds' HOF chances/votes go up or down if he came out today and admitted PED usage? (johnpark99 from Chicago)	If Bonds were contrite? Way up. Look at how Andy Pettitte and Jason Giambi are treated. You'd never know. (R.J. Anderson)
2014-05-21 13:00:00 (link to chat)	How cool is it that when Jason Giambi made his MLB debut, there was still one full season of Fresh Prince of Bel Air that would be new to the world. Yesterday was the 18 year anniversary of the final episode of that show. Today Jason Giambi is playing in an MLB game. Speaking of this game, do the Tigers have another Martinez on the bench they could play? All they do is hit homers. (ChoppertoChipper from Edmonton)	Love it!!! (Paul Sporer)
2010-12-07 13:00:00 (link to chat)	What do the Rockies plan to do with Jose Lopez and Ty Wiggington? Are they mearly backup insurance or are they looking at them as everyday players? (goreski from Coppell TX)	Wigginton seems like he is replacing Jason Giambi, trading in some power for a little more positional versatility. Lopez seems to be insurance in case someone doesn't work out at either third base or second base. He's basically their new Clint Barmes, in terms of both cost and role. (Marc Normandin)
2009-09-02 13:00:00 (link to chat)	How much of an impact will Thome have with LA? Seems minuscule with him coming off the bench. (David from Sonoma State University, CA)	I just read Joe Sheehan's article today and I agree 100% - it is the equivalent of the Rockies getting Jason Giambi. (Eric Seidman)
2009-04-16 13:00:00 (link to chat)	after Last Year we have to include the Jason Giambi award for performance enchancing facial hair. (Zac from The Land of the Ice and Snow)	Ah yes, the PEFH. Congress is going to be all over that one by 2013. Facial hair is ruining our children! (Marc Normandin)
2008-12-23 14:00:00 (link to chat)	If the A's sign Jason Giambi, how would that impact Jack Cust, Daric Barton, and Travis Buck? Does Giambi play first with Barton going to the bench or minors? Does Giambi DH with Barton staying at first and then Cust moving to the outfield, thus displacing Buck, or does Cust go to the bench? (Eric from Denver)	I think this potentially impacts Barton more than anybody, because while the A's don't see Cust as unplayable in the outfield, it seems more likely that he'll get more DH time than outfield play, and that means Giambi'd be playing a lot of first base. (Christina Kahrl)
2008-10-20 13:00:00 (link to chat)	If you were Beane, would you try to sign Jason Giambi to a one or two year deal or would you stick it out with Daric Barton? (Dave from Chicago)	Another good question, because Barton was roundly awful this year. It's pretty special when your 1B puts up a -7.4 VORP. That said, I believe in his minor league record enough to think he can rebound and be a decent if unspectacular producer at the position. I think the A's are still a bit too far down on the rebound curve to get real use out of Giambi, who has a limited shelf-life. (Steven Goldman)
2008-10-20 13:00:00 (link to chat)	How many bunt attempts (regardless of whether or not they're successful) would it take to force teams to modify or abandon their ridiculous shift on Jason Giambi. How many times does the Giambino have to ground out to deep right field before he or his team figures this out? (rich from NJ)	Very few, unless he's just incapable of dropping one on the line. If he could do it, it would represent a short-term sacrifice of power for a long-term gain of overall offense. (Steven Goldman)
2008-10-07 13:00:00 (link to chat)	If you were Brian Cashman, what would you do to make the Yankees competitive in 2009 and beyond? (Ben Garant from Austin)	Try to tell your bosses that spending as much money as possible isn't always the answer. Remind them that building from within and adding complementary pieces was what brought you the dynasty you're always referring to in the first place. Sign Teixeira to take over at first, because it will improve the offense and the defense. Don't sign Sabathia, because the money and years won't be worth it if he does indeed break down because of his body in the future. Make Phil Hughes grow a Jason Giambi 'stasche so he too can be invincible. (Marc Normandin)
2008-07-17 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Yankees just signed Richie Sexson (via FoxSports). Thoughts? (Dan from Newark)	I don't understand why they need the Ghost of Richie Sexson when Jason Giambi's 'stasche deserves its own contract. (Marc Normandin)
2008-04-17 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Ortiz looks MUCH smaller, though still just as fat, compared to -2007. His numbers are also down and at this point he's more likely to be voted Mr. Universe than get an Extra Base hit. Why aren't there steroid rumors surrounding him? He is the perfect candidate for a roider, the power came out of nowhere, and after the Mitchell Report the power disappeared like cup cakes at a pot party. (ChrisLDuncan from Ames, IA)	See, I'm really not a big fan of convicting guys based on circumstantial evidence, whenever something good -- or bad -- happens to them. Ortiz hit for a .500 slugging average at age 26 in Minnesota; it was by no means all that unusual for a guy like that to tack onto those numbers, especially moving to Fenway. And frankly it would not be all that unusual for the decline to come relatively quickly when it comes for an unathletic player like Ortiz. Mind you, I think it's way premature to conclude that he's actually in decline -- one of the amusing things about doing a chat this time of year is the sheer number of questions we get that stem from reading into tiny sample sizes, so pretty much everything can be answered by a "wait and see". But even if Ortiz atrophied into a Jason Giambi type of performer this year, there wouldn't be anything in his career track that would set off alarm bells for me. And even if there were things that set off alarm bells for me, I would leap to the conclusion that he's a steroid user. (Nate Silver)
2008-02-29 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Who is the best overall baserunner on the Yankees? (Rob from Andover, CT)	In 2007 I had Johnny Damon on top at +7 runs with Alex Rodriguez next at +5.2. Derek Jeter usually does well in baserunning and was at +2.4 and Hidecki Matsui was at +2.3. On the flip side, as usual Jorge Posada was last at -7.6 and Jason Giambi was at -3.5. Robinson Cano also did poorly at -2.2. Those three were also on the bottom in 2006 with Bernie Williams next. Melky Cabrera (+2) did well in 2006 as did Bobby Abreu (+1.5) but Damon was tops at +5.6. Based on past performance I'd have to go with Damon. (Dan Fox)
2008-02-07 14:00:00 (link to chat)	Who would you give the Yankees first base job to? (Eusebio from Houston)	Jason Giambi. I'd at least start with that, rotate the three non-Melky OFs through the DH slot and see what happens. The on-campus candidates for first base are kind of a joke. (Joe Sheehan)
2008-01-23 13:00:00 (link to chat)	What do you expect out of Jason Giambi this year? (D from NY)	I look for him to continue to be underrated as a baseball player. (Nate Silver)

BP Roundtables

Date	Roundtable Name	Comment
2010-10-06 10:00:00	2010 Playoffs Day One	Steve, I wonder if Posada's playing time spread isn't going to lurch over into a 50/50 split between catcher and DH duties, plus perhaps first on Tex's days off. Has to be better than lurching from the Unavailable (Nick the Stick), the Unmemorable (Lance Berkman), and the Unforgivable (Jason Giambi). (Christina Kahrl)

2009-10-12 15:00:00	Phillies/Rockies Playoffs Roundtable	Jason Giambi's transformation from fat, overpaid, steroid-fueled washout to charmingly grey-haired, grizzle veteran presence over a manner of a few months just amazes me. (Kevin Goldstein)
2009-10-12 15:00:00	Phillies/Rockies Playoffs Roundtable	An opposite-field hit for Jason Giambi seems even less likely than Fowler hurdling Utley. (Steven Goldman)
2008-10-27 16:30:00	World Series Game Five	I know Howard isn't exactly Wes Parker out there, but just as a point of comparison, Jason Giambi wouldn't have come within a yard of that ball. He never would have gone for it. He would have been on the bag shouting, "Yours!" to no one in particular. (Steven Goldman)
