4 runs in last 5 games .205 with a .275 on-base percentage and three homers in last 8 games - that is not my definition of good. The Yankees will not struggle all year - we know that from experience - right?
And I am not getting an indication that things are going to change in the long run like you are - I guess you are relying on your optimism there. Last year - Lowell made a big difference - this year let's just say he has sucked so far. Having Ellsbury back at the top of the order might make some difference ( D-Ped and Youk are too slow) - but not sure it will turn things around drastically. I just don't see how this offense will suddenly jump-start for a prolonged period.
My position from the start of the season has not changed. I think the offense is our weakest link, not starting pitching or bullpen. That said - I will be happy if they prove me wrong.
