Those numbers are inflated due to who he is and where he plays. He had better production as an A. Considering the lineup he know bats in, there is no way he should have lesser numbers now than before. Even in his first season in NY, his production, except for HR and strike outs totals, has dropped.

Yeah, you have to understand though. When guys, especially stars/power hitters from another team, come to NY, thier numbers drop off. Giambi was not the only star when he arrived in NY, and he ceratinly is not the only one this year. It's hard to adjust when you are not "the man" anymore. And look at A-ROD this year, he started slow and he's not doing as well as he did last year with Texas. But I still don't know why I'm arguing this. He had one bad year, THAT'S it. We aren't even at the all-star break yet, let's finish the season first.
