Jason Giambi

Yesterday, the Atlas of Steroids (bearing the entire sports world's problem on his shoulders), Jason Giambi, hit his first Spring Training homerun against the Red Sox in a media-fueled match-up that was hoped to be filled with lots and lots of taunting.

In previous spring games, he has received generally positive assessments.

These two pieces of information is enough for me to declare that Giambi will be able to hit. I do not expect him to ever hit .300 again, but do expect him to knock 40 dongs with an OBP near .400.

As a result, I no longer believe he will go cheap in an auction draft and expect him to hit the mid-$20s.
