Mychael Urban, of MLB.com, reports Oakland Athletics 1B Jason Giambi said he will share his experiences in the major leagues with the team's pitchers and catchers, in an attempt to help them out. "Definitely," Giambi said. "No doubt about it. I love to watch guys hit, period. I do it all the time in the dugout. And when you do that so much, you can pick up a lot of information about guys and their approach, what they do or don't handle really well in certain counts and situations."

Giambi, who turns 38 Thursday, will DH and play some first base to give Daric Barton a break from time to time. With Oakland, Giambi gets a $4 million salary this season and the A's hold a $6.5 million option for 2010 with a $1.25 million buyout. He can earn an additional $500,000 each year in performance bonuses: $250,000 each for 525 and 550 plate appearances. Giambi, a second-round draft pick by the A's in 1992, is a .286 career hitter with 396 homers and 1,279 RBI in 14 big league seasons.

Giambi and the A's finalized a $5.25 million, one-year contract with an option Wednesday, bringing the free-agent designated hitter and first baseman back to the place he began his big league career. The sides had reached a preliminary agreement earlier this week but Giambi still needed to complete the obligatory physical for the deal to get done. Giambi, who turns 38 on Thursday, follows a line of aging and injury-prone designated hitters in recent years with the A's - Frank Thomas, Mike Piazza, Mike Sweeney and then Thomas again. Giambi also could play some first base to give Daric Barton a break from time to time.

For all his ups and downs in New York, Giambi was productive

Source (mlb.com) ( - ) | 0 comments.

For all his ups and downs in New York, Giambi was productive enough with the Yankees to hit 30-plus homers five times and have three seasons of 107-plus RBIs. It's that kind of run production that the light-hitting A's need after ranking as one of the lowest-scoring offenses in baseball in 2008. Oakland is familiar territory to Giambi, who emerged as an All-Star while with the club from 1995-2001. Only this time around, instead of being tutored by Mark McGwire, he'll be the one providing leadership to 23-year-old first baseman Daric Barton. The acquisition fills a major void in Oakland's lineup, as Giambi will likely bat behind newly acquired slugger Matt Holliday, DH regularly and occasionally step in at first. On the downside, RBI opportunities won't be as plentiful as they were in the Bronx, but the presence of Holliday ensures respectable numbers.

For all his ups and downs in New York, Giambi was productive enough with the Yankees to hit 30-plus homers five times and have three seasons of 107-plus RBIs. It's that kind of run production that the light-hitting A's need desperately, after ranking as one of the lowest-scoring offenses in baseball. Oakland is familiar territory to Giambi, who was there from 1995-2001, during which time he won AL MVP honors. Only this time around, instead of being tutored by Mark McGwire, he'll be the one providing leadership to 23-year-old first baseman Daric Barton.

Giambi reunites with Oakland, where he broke into the Majors

Source (mlb.com) ( - ) | 0 comments.

Giambi reunites with Oakland, where he broke into the Majors in 1995 under the wing of incumbent first baseman Mark McGwire. Although his Bronx tenure was marked by frequent fan criticism and a sensationalized case of confessed steroids use, Giambi was productive enough with the Yankees to hit 30-plus homers five times and have three seasons of 107-plus RBIs. He'll fill a major void in Oakland's lineup, serving regularly at DH and occasionally at first base. That probably means fewer starts for fellow first baseman Daric Barton, who flopped as an everyday player last season.

Giambi might just finish his career where it began more than a decade ago. The free-agent first baseman was nearing a deal Tuesday to return to the Oakland Athletics nearly 14 years after making his debut with the club, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to The AP because the contract hasn't been completed. The addition of Giambi would be the second big offseason acquisition by general manager Billy Beane, who made a trade with Colorado for star outfielder Matt Holliday back in November. Giambi, who turns 38 on Thursday, spent the past seven seasons with the Yankees. Giambi, who batted .247 with 32 home runs and 96 RBIs in 2008 for the Yankees, won the AL MVP for the A's.
