The A's released Jason Giambi, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post.

 

This definitely hasnt been his year, with his .193/.332/.364 line, but it would be hard to argue with picking him up as a bat off the bench. Maybe we could get an Edmondsesque resurgence out of him for a few months. Hes a lefty, and thats what matters, at least to Lou.

In what world is it hard to argue against carrying a DH that can't hit as one of our 5 offensive bench players?

If you wanted an Edmondsesque lefty why wouldn't you just get Jim Edmonds?

 

Or teach Shea Hillenbrand to switch hit.
