After signing a free agent handle with the Oakland A's prior to the begin of the 2009 season,

Giambi, 38, has 407 vocation home runs and a lifetime .282 batting average. In his 8 seasons with the A's, Giambi put up mathematics as solid as anyone in Oakland franchise history.
On a conference cry with media members, A's general manager Billy Beane said,

Simply put: The A's aren't going anywhere this season,

In truth, the shake could be construed as a help to Giambi, who still has a accident to catch on with someone else who might want a left-handed power bat for the leftover of 2009.
If not, Giambi may be coerced to retire. Though he had some agreeable seasons in the Bronx, his best go was done during his 1st go-round in Oakland.
He ranked first in batting average (.300 for the A's), second in slugging percent, second in on-base percent, third in doubles, fifth in home runs and sixth in RBI in the Oakland crew disc paperbacks.

VMy colleague Pat Lackey had some choice words for the WBC when Sizemore withdrew, claiming that not all the players take it seriously, which in turn affects the fans' interest level. And back in December, Matt Snyder took a stab at who would make up our ideal U.S. roster. Now it's time to take a turn at naming which players, like Sizemore, we're going to miss watching in this tournament.
