Giambi to Torre About A-Rod

Yankee Feud? Yankee first baseman Jason Giambi apparently suggested to Joe Torre to get tough on third baseman Alex Rodriguez . I guess Giambi and his teammates didn't feel that A-Rod was playing up to par. He is quoted in detail about his remarks in this weeks Sports Illustrated.

It wasn't a situation where there was malice or anything," Giambi said. "It was just trying to find anything to help him out. . . . I don't want to make it sound like we were fighting or angry. By no means was it supposed to come off mean."

Last time we checked Giambi stats (.250, 36, 109) and salary ($20.4 mil) are comparable to Rodriguez's (.286, 34, 116/$25.6mil.). Giambi has been slammed by the media for allegations of steroid use in the past. Could Giambi be trying to channel the media off his back and onto Rodriguez......
