These days the faces of the Yankees change so often it’s hard to keep track of who’s on the team. To go from hating a player like Jason Giambi to suddenly rooting for him is not an easy step considering all the curses I’ve yelled at him (through my television) over the years.

Of course, with steroidophobia in the air, bulking up is suddenly not so chic. Giambi, who claims he lost only 4 lbs. over the winter, looks as if he's shrunk a few shirt, shorts and shoe sizes. "Spring training used to be an annual game of who got bigger," says Josh Suchon, an Oakland Tribune sportswriter who wrote a book on Bonds. "This year...
