Why?

What is going on here? Giambi has shown nothing. Not a thing.

I know it's unlikely that C. J. Nitkowski or Steve Karsay would contribute much in a playoff series, but it's even more unlikely that Giambi is going to contribute anything.

What is going to happen if Giambi actually reaches base? Is he going to be pinch-ran for every time? Or is Torre going to let him collapse on the trek from first base to second base?

Bubba Crosby should be playing CF in every game where the Yankees have a lead in the late innings. I am not sure if Crosby is on the postseason roster, but he can contribute every game, pinch-running or fielding.

Giambi will not intimidate the opposing manager with his "presence" and it's nothing more than wishful thinking to imagine another Kirk Gibson '88.

The Yankees rushed him back and hoped he could contribute, but he has proven that he can't. Give it up. Keeping Giambi on the postseason roster is downright irresponsible at this point.
