JASON GIAMBI RUMORS & GOSSIP

WFNY Stats & Info: Jason Giambi’s slugging tear

Last weekend, I wrote a tongue-in-cheek WFNY Stats & Info post about a prop bet (h/t @neatgibson): What would be more, Jason Giambi’s home runs or Cleveland Browns wins? Well, ever since, Giambi has been on an absolute tear for the Indians. He tied Tuesday afternoon’s game against Cincinnati with a eighth-inning home run. He was the star of Thursday evening’s game against...

Giambi, Masterson help end Indians losing streak

CLEVELAND -- This was the kind of night the Indians had in mind when they signed the aged veteran who had interviewed to be Colordao's manager.Smart, veteran presence still some pop in his bat understanding of the game (as the Rockies showed) ... the ability to hit right-handers. So with the Indians returning home on a five-game losing streak, manager Terry Francona did not...

Going...Going...Gone: Jason Giambi Crushes the Ball for Home Run No. 432 of his Career

Jason Giambi is nothing like the slugger he was years ago, before and after his steroid admission. Having been in the league since 1995 it is safe to say that he is in the twilight of his career. That doesn't mean that on occasion we will not see bits and pieces of the slugger that used to crush balls for a living. Like he did on Memorial Day when he crushed this one out of...

WFNY Stats & Info: Browns wins or Jason Giambi home runs?

Throughout 2013, I’ve been providing semi-regular headlines here at WFNY under the vein of “WFNY Stats & Info.” Often, these will be incredibly detailed split statistics showing various streaks and runs for the Cleveland teams. Today, I’d like to propose something different: A Cleveland-based prop bet. Which will be more: Home runs hit by Jason Giambi in 2013 for the...

Hoynes: Jason Giambi on Team Chemistry

In this morning’s Plain Dealer, Paul Hoynes asked Indians designated hitter Jason Giambi about team chemistry. Giambi, 42, is in his 19th major league season with his fourth team (Athletics, Yankees, Rockies). The five-time All-Star was the 2000 AL MVP and has hit 431 homers in his career. Q: There’s an old saying about baseball being a team game played by nine individuals....

Animated: Giambi’s hustling head-first slide

The highlight from a night where the Indians jack homers out of the park all night long was not the long ball. At least not for me. The highlight of the night was watching a presumably arthritic 42-year-old Jason Giambi playing baseball with the intensity and heart of a 12-year-old who only knows how to play one speed. It might be dumb to slide into first base, but I kind of respect...

Giambi to serve as mentor to young Indians

GOODYEAR, Ari. -- Aging gracefully presents challenges, especially in the world of professional athletics. Jason Giambi, though, seems to have refined the art. Giambi was a late -- and surprise -- add to the Indians spring training roster, and he was brought in for a specific purpose. It's one he embraces, even if it means he's almost as valuable as a leader as he is at...

Jason Giambi on pace to make Indians' 25-man roster

It's not surprising, but Jason Giambi is likely to make the Cleveland Indians' 25-man roster.  He was signed to a minor league contract with an invite to Major League camp this spring.  So far, he's been solid and proved to be healthy.  The Indians will likely bring him on board once the team breaks camp. According to Bud Shaw of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, new...

Jason Giambi close to minor league deal with Indians

The Cleveland Indians may be adding yet another veteran presence to their roster for the 2013 season. Jason Giambi is set to be the next player added to the Indians list of invitees to spring training. Giambi spent the last handful of seasons with Colorado. Last season he hit just .225/.372/.303 with a home run and eight RBI in 113 trips to the plate. If signed by the Indians, Giambi...
