A powerful slugger who won the AL MVP award in 2000, Jason Giambi served as the heart of the great
Oakland Athletics teams in the beginning of the "Moneyball" era. Moving on to the
New York Yankees in 2002 after signing an enormous contract, Giambi continued his excellence in 2002 and 2003, but struggled with medical difficulties and steroid rumors in 2004.
Left-hander Joe Beimel spent two months with the Rockies in 2009 and made 26 appearances, but his brief stay with the club apparently ended Nov. 5. One day after the World Series, the Rockies announced they had agreed to terms with Randy Flores, who like Beimel, is a left-handed reliever.

Full Jason Giambi News
Jason's hitting prowess is due in part to his incredible eye sight. Like
Barry Bonds, Jason's vision is so good that he can recognize the type of pitch that is coming at him as soon as the pitch releases it from his hand. This edge allows him to quickly adjust the type of swing he'll take.
