come at me shea
Tyler Colvin is shit, and on the road he is shit with corn stuck in it. He's nowhere near the player Dexter is, and there's better options at first base.
Giambi gets on base (.433 OBP), and if given regular playing time, he would raise an already good .850 OPS much higher. Giambi plays well at home and on the road. Colvin doesn't. He still has plenty of pop.
I don't know about you, but I would take a guy who works the count and get on base 40+% of the time at home, and away from Coors, over a guy who strikes out a ton, and doesn't get the walks to make up for it. The only thing he is good for is the occasional home run (at home, not on the road mind you). Which Giambi can do as well.
