he hits better as a 1st baseman.

WTF does this even mean?

It is strange but he hits statistically better as a 1Bman than a DH. He says he focuses better when he plays the field. I'm not sure how many ABs he has at DH. It might just be sample size and Giambi being results oriented.

Allthough, on a personal note, I used to play 1B the majority of the time in high school and a few times I DH'd and I'd have to admit, it's harder to stay focused just sitting there for an hour between ABs.

It's not strange at all. He plays 1B when healthy, when he's not very healthy, but healthy enough to hit, he played DH.

Basically, he hits better when healthy.

This isn't rocket science.
