Giambi, Or Not to Be?

Can Jason Giambi return to the form that racked up 350 HR's (12th Lp2 all-time), 1167 RBI's (11th Lp2 all-time) and .413 OB% (9th Lp2 all-time)? The Flashes sure hope so. Giambi has been marred in a 2 year slump, that's seen him get most of his at bats in the Kings and Flashes minor league system. "The steriod allegations have really had a negative impact on Jason emotionally," stated a league official, "in order for him to become anything like the player he was, he's going to need to focus on playing ball and not focus on what the media is saying about him."

The Flash offense, led by newly acquired Manny Ramirez (Christians) and 2004 1st round draft pick David Wright, could use the help that Giambi can provide. "We need him," stated Wright, "we need him producing if we're going to have any chance in this division."
