Pay him $20M to go away? What planet do you live on? Giambi the ballplayer is still immensely valuable – way more valuable than the $6M difference. Sure, he’s not worth $26M, but what can you do? Suck it up, pay him, and enjoy having a great, albeit overpayed, hitter on your team.

Annie, I went to high school in the early 90’s in South Jersey and around the same time they started bringing drug sniffing dogs through the hallways and would search any locker the dogs would react to. Apparantly, our school’s biggest drug problem was steroids. Not weed, crack, heroine, or LSD. Of course this was just what they found in student lockers, however.

Testing has been long overdue.

You all think steroids are a joke? Several states are now testing high school athletes for steroids. What does that say about our ‘sports culture’?

Admitting to using steroids is one thing, when did he do them? While with the Yankees or before?

If he was doing them while with the Yankees and it can be proven, then they have a weak case. If not, then no case.

Anyone want to take bets that, that statement was written by MLB.

Now I wonder what if anything the Yankees can do with that statement. He pretty much admitted to doing steriods (not that, that should be a shock). Do they have a legal leg to stand on?

Also if Giambi becomes healthy he can force the issue of being activated.Go away go away Giambi.I look foward to Jason coming back healthy and I would like to see him retite as a Yankee in 5-6 years albeit at half his present salary.

Really the only breaking news in this is that finally giambi has admitted what he has done and used the word steroids rather than that stuff. You do have to feel badly for him as he is a nice guy who did a bad thing and got caught. I am sure there are many others who did the same who we don’t know about and wouldn’t even think about. My only other problem with his statement is the goal is to win the world series not the al east

Go Away Giambi:

I understand not liking Giambi either personally or professionally and wishing there was a way to get rid of him and I appreciate your creativity and passion about getting rid of Giambi. But based on your comments I don’t get the impression you really understand the way a guaranteed contract works in MLB. More to the point, I don’t get your snotty attitude toward long time blog contributors who actually know what they are talking about.

Why not try a little humility and consider that you might be wrong before you start the character slam.

Stuart:

You wrote: “newsflash giambi did not get caughtâ€¦.”

Uh, Stu, when you get called into the Grand Jury to testify that you did indeed illegally use and/or possess performance enhancing drugs in connection with a criminal investigation of the sale and possession of illegal PEDs, trust me when I tell you that this is called “being caught.”
