05/23: Sources: Giambi Failed Amphetamines Test in Last Year

Posted by: Patrick

From the Daily News:

Jason Giambi failed a Major League Baseball-administered amphetamines test within the last year, which has subjected him to additional drug testing, sources told the Daily News. Giambi tacitly admitted last week that he has used steroids, but he failed to mention that he has been caught using other drugs.

Because Major League Baseball's amphetamines policy keeps a first positive test secret, however, it is unlikely Giambi will be asked about it when he meets with representatives from commissioner Bud Selig's office, possibly as soon as tomorrow on the Yankees' day off.

The following is just a baseball fantasy and I know that it won't happen, but wouldn't it be nice if the Yankees could unload Jason Giambi along with his contract and then trade for a "real" centerfielder in Torii Hunter and put Johnny Damon as the permanent DH? Then to put the icing on the cake, the Yankees would get a " real " first baseman in Todd Helton ( I'd rather have Texeira, but that would almost be impossible ), with his .480 OBP and .998 FPCT at 1st base. Then you would have a well balanced line-up.

dh Damon L
ss Jeter R
lf Matsui L
3b A-Rod R
rf Abreu L
cf Hunter R
1b Helton L
c Posada R
2b Cano L

The line-up we have right now is too inconsistent, non-clutch and have too many lefty hitters which puts them at the mercy of teams with lots of lefty pitchers like the Mets.
