...guess you could give Jones a smidgen of credit for finally coming clean. As Jason Giambi of the New York Yankees has proven, those who apologize for using steroids will eventually be forgiven.

By staying in the organization's good graces, Giambi was able to stay on the playing field and win back fan support.
