Giambi – Wave Bye bye. Do not offer arbitration unless he agrees to decline it.

Abreu – Offer arbitration so we get 2 draft picks for him

Pettite – Offer arbitration. probably resign him to 1 year deal. He keeps saying he wants to pitch in the new stadium.

Moose – Same deal as Pettite.

Pavano – I think we all know the answer to that one.

Marte – Need to keep him. He deserves another chance. Offer arbitration.

Damon – Shop him. Might be tradeable, even if they have to pick up some salary.

Betemit – Dump him. He’s useless.

Matsui – Keep him. DH + split time in LF.

Pudge – See Giambi

It’s just mind boggling to me.

Maybe Giambi has naked pictures of Girardi’s wife or something. This is borderline self destructive.

I know Arod is playing like a mental patient and doing nothing, but Giambi has done nothing for months and he’s still right there in the 5 hole.

I understand why you don’t drop Arod — you stand a better chance he does something positive than Giambi.

If Giambi’s not going to be here next season why in God’s name is anyone in this organization trying to show him respect and cow tow to his reputation?

Seriously. I can’t fathom it.

If I were Cashman and the Steins, I’d waive Giambi tomorrow, give him his 5 million buyout and call it a day so I can stop Girardi from this madness.

This is akin to making Melky Cabrera your 5 hitter. It just makes no sense.

I look at it and I wonder are they intentionally trying to throw games or something? Seriously. I’m at that point in this season where I’m seeing conspiracy theories.

From all accounts in the press, the veterans on the team came to management/Girardi and expressed dissatisfaction with all the lineup changes.

Why would he listen and let the inmates run the asylum? He took a huge step back as manager and a huge step back as far as power in that locker room when listened to the vets about the lineup.

He should have to told them to shut up and play and if they don’t like it, they can sit.

I would dump Giambi and call up that Miranda kid who can hit with RISP and has some pop.

If Girardi can’t stop himself from using this louse in the 5 hole, then someone in management needs to do it for him.

6 games behind Boston with 6 games against them doesn’t mean the season’s over.

But seriously, why is Girardi all of a sudden managing like he’s going down with the ship/vets who don’t deserve this kind of respect.

I’m down on him as manager. I’m down on the front office. I’m down on the players with a few exceptions.

What a garbage year and a colossal waste of time and money this year.

It’s one thing if we were challenging and getting beaten by better competition, but we’re not. This team has quit on themselves, each other, their manager and NY.

Pathetic.

Even Yankees suck,he always says the same words.
Don’t cheat yourself,Joe.

Huh?

It was a long shot a month ago, Peter.
Now?
