The Oakland Athletics have brought back first-baseman/designated-hitter Jason Giambi on a 1-year deal worth $4.5M, including a club option at $5M for 2010. Giambi will be happy to allow his hair and tattoos to show again back with the green-and-yellow, but he can't be too excited with the small dollar amount that he received.
Jason hit 32 HR's and drove in 96 for the 2008 Yankees, and will be a fixture in the middle of the order with newest Athletic Matt Holliday. Oakland has transformed their lineup from one of the worst to a top-10 caliber by just adding two players the quality of Giambi and Holliday.
