Giambi finds a home

Old friend Jason Giambi, who was released by Oakland earlier this month, has agreed to a deal with the Colorado Rockies. Giambi hasn’t played since July 19 because of a strained quad, but his agent says he is healthy.  According to the linked article, Giambi will play for Triple-A Colorado Springs before getting called up to the big club when the rosters expand on Sept. 1. Giambi hit .193/.332/.364 with 11 home runs and 40  RBI in 328 plate appearances for Oakland this season.
