Match the Yankee first baseman to his September OPS:
A: 1.225; B: .907; C: .817
If you said:
A: Jason Giambi; B: Wilson Betemit; C: Doug Mienkiewicz
You’d be wrong. Answer after the jump.
Doug Mienkiewicz = 1.225
Wilson Betemit = .907
Jason Giambi = .817
Small sample, you say? Well, yeah.
It seems to me Dougie Fresh’s play in the field should make him a lock as the regular first baseman in the playoffs…we have plenty of offense without Giambi in the lineup. Plus, with his inconsistancy, let him PH in situations. I vote Mientkiewicz for first base!!!
Doug has picked the right time to go on a hitting spree. Joe’s making decisions now.
