Ranked second among AL 1b in OPS, Jason Giambi is indeed having a better season than anyone envisioned. Just imagine how inept this offense would be without him. With that said, Jason has not been very durable, averaging a mere 110 games played over the last four years. It looks as though we might continue to get production out of him for the remainder of the season, but the question his outstanding performance has raised is, "Should the Yankees bring him back?"
Robinson Cano may be the dumbest player in baseball. You curse him for swinging 3-0 at a ball by his feet and love the raw talent he displays when he turns it into a double. Entering this season with huge expectations, Cano has been comparatively terrible. Looking at his peripheral stats it seems he's been hitting into bad luck. His LD% is up over last year while somehow his BABIP dropped considerably. Simply put, his numbers will improve in the second half. The silver lining to his rough start is that his fielding has been spectacular. Going forward he should be a cog in this team but we're not sure he's the potential #3 hitter people expect him to develop into.
Alex Rodriguez' contract is awful; however, Alex Rodriguez the baseball player is not awful. Despite an extended absence due to a strained quad, he's putting up numbers similar to his best seasons, while also displaying solid defense at 3b. The guy is great at baseball, what else is there to say?
