As for Giambi... I definitely don't dislike him. There's a few Yankees from recent history who I consider myself a big fan of: Cone, Rivera, Mattingly, Bernie, Jeter (sans the media hype)... With the recent developments over the past year or so which have made him into a "whipping boy" of sorts for the media and fans for a problem that spreads much further than Jason Giambi, combined with his reputation of a nice guy, I've almost become a fan of his.

Of course it's tough for me to want him to succeed given the fact that his contract is a serious ball and chain for the Yankees if he keeps playing as he is.
